Default wheels spacers or new wheels

I bought some adr msport 19x8.5 35mm offset. While the fronts look good the rears are inset to much. If I buy 2 rear rims 19x9.5 what offset should I go with and if I just buy spacers how big should they be? What would everyone suggest? Just rying to make it look decent.

Go with an offset of 20-25 for the rears. I don't know if ADR makes these wheels with that offset but if you find out, I can recommend a spacer size.

They do not. The MSports only come in the +35 offset for the front and back. I WISH they came in any other offset. Now I just wish I went with the SF Challenge.

I guess my next question would be is whats the difference between the cheap spacers on ebay and the h&r spacers that are $100-$150.

The cheap spacers go inbetween your hub and your wheel. While the H&R spacers actually extend your wheel studs and are alot safer.

If it's 35mm offset, go with a 15mm spacer. That's what I have on the rear for my Falken Koblenz. It's a 35 offset and now it's flush with the fender...not sticking out at all. H&R spacers are also wheel centric in addition to being hubcentric. This means the spacer fits around your hub on your car AND fits snugly inside your wheel as well assuming the wheel bore size is 66.1 or 66.2mm. And as quoted above, H&R includes longer studs.

I was gonna go with a 25mm spacer because I wasnt sure what size to use. So 15mm will be ok even though its only a 8.5" wheel.
Whatsthe widest tire I can go? I was gonna put a 255/40/19.

I thought you were referring to the rear wheel. If the rear is a 35mm offset and 9.5 wide. Go with a 15mm. If you want one for the front and it's 35mm offset and 8.5 wide, a 25mm will make if have an offset of 10mm, which may make it stick out just a lil. You can go with a 15mm to be on the safe side and it'll stilll look pretty aggressive. A 20mm front and rear offset is perfect. widest tire for your front should be 255/35/19. Do not get a 40 series or your VDC will not work properly (if you have it) and your speedometer will not be correct.

OK, I'm in the same boat here... I am considering HP Design rims with +35 offset all around. I don't want my wheels to be tucked!!! PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG...seriously...I'm buying these rims today.

My rims would be 19's, 8.5f and 9.5r. According to this rim calculator ( http://www.mindspring.com/~toy4two/offset.html )
the new rims should stick out (8mil front and 17mil rear) beyond the stock 17's which have a 30f and 33r offset. The rest of the new rim will be in the well.

I don't want to buy spacers... 8mil and 17mil beyond stock is actually quite a bit if you think about it.

Alright, with everone giving different opinions, here is a summary of what I've read...

Front
19"x8.5" fronts, with 35mm offset (M-sport or similar)
Use a 15mm H&R spacer
Use a)245/35/19 or b)255/35/19 tires

Rear
19"x9.5" rears, with 35mm offset (M-sport or similar)
Use a 15mm H&R spacer
Use a)275/35/19 or b)285/35/19 tires

Now has anyone actually done this who can give opinions?

I only have 19x8.5 all the way around but will be ordering spacers this week. Was gonna keep 235 or 245 up front and get a 255 in the back. Dont think I can go any wider than that since its only an 8.5" wheel. Also I though I would need either a 20mm or 25mm in the back since its only 8.5".

I have a 19x8.5 in front with a 25mm offset and I think it could be brought out more (a little tucked in). So with a 15mm spacer, you'd have a 20mm offset...a look I would like to have. I have 245/35/19 up front.

For the rear, I have 19x9.5 with a 35mm offset and a 15mm spacer and it fits perfect I think. Rear tires are 285/35/19. PM me if you want pictures.
