Hey guys, I've just ordered some wheels that should be arriving late next week. In preparation I'm ordering some TPMS and I'm looking at some spacers. I've got a couple of questions for you veterans to help me with. Here's my current setup. I'm on Fsport springs and stock wheels are the 17 inch 225/45/17. My new wheels are 225/35/19's with 45 offset. I decided against a staggered setup.

1. What would be the ideal spacer size for the rear (or max spacer). I do not want to deal with modding the fenders or liner, however a liiitttle bit of rub is ok, nothing too extreme Same goes for the front, whats the max I can space them out?

2. I'm leaning towards project kics spacers, does anyone have oppinions or suggestions on them or should I be looking at a different brand. I do like the idea of having a hubcentric spacer so keep that in mind.

I've been reading pages and pages of posts and cant seem to find the info I need. Thanks in advance guys

Need the width of your new wheels.

install the wheels. take a piece of thread and tie a nut at the end. tape the thread to the top center of your fender and let it hang down. measure with a mm ruler from tire to string. that will give you a flush look. add or subract mm for you tuck or poke

Hey Jeff, the specs of the new wheels are listed above: 45 offsets all around and flektone, I kinda wanted to have everything here and ready to mount. I was hoping to have a rough idea of what a max offset would be, that way I could go ahead, order some spacers and install everything at once instead of waiting for the spacers to ship while the wheels are here. Thanks guys.

Apologies, I meant width. Offset is meaningless without width.

My bad, the rims are 19 by 8.5. According to an offset calculator I used, it pushes out 19mm over stock...but again, I'm not sure how much room that gives me based on the new offset. Thanks for help so far Jeff!

Not sure how aggressive you want it to be, and I understand that everyone has different tastes, but put the wheels on first...then decide. By no means will you look funny driving around with that width and offset.

In my opinion- 8.5 inch rims with a +45 offset will push the wheels out nicely...nearly flush with the fender.

You won't need spacers.

^ Thanks Edward, I just got the wheels in today and they look ginormous next to the stock 17's. I was using a offset calculator somewhere and it was saying that with the new rims, they will push out 19mm from stock. I'm pretty sure that this will be enough as well...but I'll get them on and judge from there. Thanks once again.
