Spacer Question
Looking for set of spacers to make the wheel sit flush against the fenders. Any ideas of the correct or best size I should use?
I am running on 19" multispokes 235 (F) & 265 (R).
Many thanks in advance!

Sounds like you may have the same sizes as Roswell (?). If so, I think I read that he is using 12mm front and 10mm rear, but I'm sure he will chime in.

Believe or not, when ur car is lowered .. Every mm counts when comes to rubbing !
For example, I had 275/30/19 on my HRE & they were rubbing.. I didn't think going down to 265/30/19 would've been enough to stop the rubbing, but it did stopped it.
Another factor to consider is the tire brand might make a difference.. Some tires run wider or narrower than others.
In my case, from looking at the pics in my other thread, I would rub with 265/30/19 in the Yokohamas. But it can be done with a more rounded sidewall like Contis.

U can go 245/40/18f & 275/35/18r no problem. But if u add spacers, decrease the tire width accordingly with the thickness of ur spacers.
