Default spacers?

Hey guys, just wondering what size spacers you recommend getting if you had this setup. Fronts 19x8.5 +38 with 235/35 - Rears 19x10 +43 275/30

Would like it flush with cut fenders.

Thanks

I would think a 10mm in front should do it...

I know you want to be flushed...but how much are you dropped now? Are you ok running negative camber?

My tires are not tucked, just sitting right at the edge with the fender. Thinking about lowering more if everything works out right. I'm not looking to have it sticking out or anything at all, just so it's as close as possible to the fender.

I was thinking about getting 20mm front and rear. What do you guys think?

I'm not looking to run negative camber.

Thank you very much.

what kind of rims are you running?

I'm have some 19x9.5 and 19x10 that I need to buy spacers for also.

20mm wont fit on the front unless you are pulled and shaved and cambered. esp with a 235 tire. the rear would be fine if you are cambered, you might have to raise the car unless you want to rub.

Thanks for the info. My front fenders have been rolled and i could make u turns when i had my car slammed but i'm not sure how it's gonna be with the 20mm spacers. I'm gonna probably get the 20mm for the rears then.

So Last but not least with the specs on my wheels and with 20mm spacers i should be close to flushed as possible right?

And with the 20mm spacers i would need to cut the rear fenders and rolled the fronts correct? without rubbing issues.

Thanks guys!
