Spacer Question

Just soliciting some advice. I'm currently running Miro 111's 19x8.5 et35 / 19x9.5 et33 on Hankook K110's 235/35/19, 265/30/19. Looking to add some spacers without having to roll. Car is not lowered. Any suggestions on what offset I can get down to without rubbing and what size spacer?

The best way to understand which size spacer you need, is to simply measure from the top outside edge of your tire to the inner lip of you fender. This will give you the best idea on how much size you have to work with, and to decide on how much your wheels need spaced.

Once you know that let us know and I will be able to recommend which size will be the best fit for your application.

Here is a diagram that might help as well.


Please let us know if you have any questions! Feel free to shoot me a PM or email.

Best,
Joe

Yes you can use a ruler to measure the amount of space between the fender and the tire to gauge what size spacer is going to be best. You can most likely go with a 5mm spacer at a minimum in both front and rear to push the wheels out a bit further for a more flush and aggressive look!

Adding any spacers to your current set up, even a 5mm on the rear is probably going to require a roll.

Sure, people have done the 12/15mm combo, but in order to get that to work, you will most definitely have to run stretched tires and a fender roll is going to be absolutely required.

So Gerry, your saying that going down to a et28 (5mm spacer) on my current rear setup will require a fender roll regardless?
