up to you...but personally I am against spacers...stock fitment is the most fail, so you cannot do any worse than that.

I was thinking the same offsets and Disk setup. Tires, not so sure yet, but I'm not 100% sure I want to pull the fenders. Is there an alternative?

I need advice. My current fronts are 19x8.5 +15 with a 225/35/19 . Its not as flush as I would like compared to the rear (19x10 +20). IM gonna run spacers in the front.



What do you guys think of a 15 mm spacer making it 19x8.5 +0 with a 225/35/19 tire. Anybody running that or heard of someone? or should I be safe and run a 10 mm?

My fronts rub the inside lining pretty bad with the height i'm at. I don't want it rubbing the fender also.

Let me know.

Smaller tires and camber until it clears. Smaller doesnt necessary mean smaller profile. Every brand tires are different size even with the same profile.. Example: Federal 595ss VS Dunlop Direzza DZ101. Try searching different forums like Zilvia.net where they have specific threads on tire stretching/aggressive wheel fitment to get an idea of how each brand looks on the wheel.

For a 10mm spacer, you will either need
1. Extended wheel studs since the OEM ones are too short for you to safely run a 10mm. Max is 5mm.
2. Bolt on spacers (The one with studs on them).

Ichiba makes both spacers and extended wheel studs.

EDIT: I'm running 18x9.5 +0 with 225/40/18. Slight rubbing on the inside.

Looks like your fenders are rolled/flared quite a bit, so i'd say go with a 15mm. Make sure you get one with extended studs and just take out the fender liner. You're eventually gunna rub through it anyways. Don't forget to relocate the harness in drivers side fender too if you haven't yet.

Im gonna buy a set of kics spacers with stems attached. 15mm. Im gonna raise the car a bit, and also relocate the harness.

Thanks everyone that helped. Ill letyou know how it turns out when I get the spacers in.

I'm putting CCW Classics on the car,there is a set for sale on SF, and I don't know if they will fit. If anyone can assist me I'd be forever grateful. It's no problem to pull/clip the fenders as it needs paint anyways. I plan to lower the car just enough to give roughly 2 inches of space between the tire and outside fender lip. I don't want to stretch the tires or run negative camber.

Front 18x10 +57
Rear 17x11.5 +64

I wouldn't mind spacers if they would be needed.

Front will suck. You're going to want 25mm spacers. Rear will be not bad, maybe a small spacer.

Give them to me and I'll try to fit them. There would be rolling, pulling, camber, and I'm sure you would need some more stretch.
