Default Need help choosing the proper spacer!

I'm not really satisfied with the fitment of my latest set of wheels so I'd like to add some spacers for a little bit more of a flush look. The specs are below, any advice would be great!


19 x 8.5 +35 Front w/ 235/35 tire

and

19 x 9.5 +40 Rear w/ 275/30 tire

Slammed on coils, rear fenders are cut.

Can you post pics of the "flushness"? I am considering going with19" +35 8" fronts, and +40 9.5 rears..although not as wide in rear, maybe 265.

I'm not so sure, but I think going 19x8 40 front and 19x9.5 35 rear is more right since front wheels would rub the wheel well with high offset.

That looks good... a little too dropped for me though, I am just using the F-Sport springs.. so hopefully I won't run into any fender issues. Thanks for the pics

I was thinking a 10 mm spacer in the rear with extended studs, and a 5mm spacer in the front...

Can anyone chime in?
