Question time for some chunkiness....

I tried searching the forums and couldn't fine the answer I was quite looking for.
As some of you know, I bought some 19" Racing Hart C2's that are 7.5" wide. I sold my 225-35-19, and got 245-35-19's. My question is, what size spacers should I get for the front and the rears?
Here is a couple of pics, let me know please as soon as possible. My Tein's are arriving this month.
Thanks everyone....






93LexoGS300 suggested that I get the H&R 25mm spacers...would this be a good route to go for the rear wheels? what about the fronts?

dam those 19's look small. did you get those rims used? if not why not just get the right offset and width.

well for front i would say no more than 15mm

The fronts actually don't look that bad from the pics. Definitely stay with something small if you have to have some in front. Some members have had steering/vibration issues so none is always better.

The rear definitely could use spacers.

The thing that actually caught my eye more was the gap. Sorry, but I think it needs a drop more than spacers. Just my 2 cents, though. Always do what you like and what budget allows.

BTW, nice wheels.

thanks for the input. like i said in my post, my Tein HA's should be arriving shortly, as for the wheels themselves, I bought them used. Also the car sits stock touring wheels right now. The 19's are a lot chunkier now with the 245 rubber on em'. The pic's I posted are OLD. thanks for the advise.....

Talking UPDATE!!

My Tein HA's are being delivered today! Finally. That was the longest I have ever waited for anything aftermarket. I'm ordering the spacers today, and hopefully (keeping fingers crossed) I will have my entire setup completed by next weekend.

Thanks everyone for all the advice ,

Craig
