Default Just bought some Shallen LX's....

Just recently bought 19x8 & 19x9 Shallen LXs for my UCF1 and test fit them yesterday. Not looking to pull or do more fender work other than the rolled fenders I have done. Also slammed of Megan EZs. I want to go for a semi flush/flush look but unsure of how much to adjust suspension and sizes of spacers I should use because I am unsure of the look I am going for. Any one else here have pics of their 1st gen LS on coils with 19x8 & 19x9s? And what size spacers you used to achieve that look. I want to use as reference to see exactly how I want my car stanced. Thanks in advance!

What is the offset? Barring that, did you take any pics with them mounted?

Wheels is a bit narrow to run stretch tires upfront. You might have a problem with that

those are pretty conservative numbers. as dranom said, you will not have a good stretch on an 8" wide wheel. 215s (which is the narrowest tire they make in 19) will almost be square. as for spacers it all depends on how flush you want it. best bet is to mount them on the car then reassess.
