12mm for the front if you are running stock 235s.
10mm for the rear, but that depends on the tyre brand as some 265s are wider than others.
Some people have run 10mm with 265s and it has worked, I am pretty sure Michelin PSSs in 265 and 10mm spacers will rub on a drop.

Hi, I am installing H&amp;amp;R Springs (-20mm).&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />
&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />
I have a 09 P30 with 19&amp;quot;. Also running 265 on the rear.&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />
&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />
Which spacers would be best for me?&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />
&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />
Any recommendations? &lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />
&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />
Thanks.

Really? I doubt you are using oem wheels with the 10mm spacers + 275/30 PSS cuz you would be rubbing like crazy.
I'm running OEM multispokes with 10mm spacers but with 255/30 AVS no rubbing. Since you have 265/30, I will say you will rub with the 10mm spacers... try 5mm.
As for the front, 19x8 +45 with 12mm spacers & 235/35... no rubbing. But you can go up to 15mm with 235/35.

Roswell...thinking of getting wheel spacers for my 507 sedan, called a local performance shop and the recommended against it, said it will shake and not ride as smooth factory and that you'll go though tires 2x as fast? any truth to this? I don't want to compromise the ride at all. Thanks

Make sure the spacers are hubcentric & u buy longer bolts equivalent to the thickness of spacers. In example oem bolts 27mm + 10mm spacers = 37mm bolts... Then u won't have any problem.
But yes, spacers should be with caution. Torque wheel bolts at 96-100lbs regularly.. And not recommended for track use.

Great thanks...guy said they installed on 09, and 11, and the ride shook? so I'm thinking 265/35/19 R and 245-35-19 F should I go with 10mm R and 12mm F? or 10mm all round?

The shop definitely didn't install the h&r hubcentric spacers if the cars start shaking. I'm running spacers on my oem 19's for 2-3 years not a single vibration.
As for ur planned set-up, first go 265/30/19 vs 265/35/19 which is too tall.
And are u lowered? If yes, ppl said they rub with 265/30/19 & 10mm spacers & lowered. And I don't think 5mm spacers comes hubcentric so stay away from it.
Ur front will work fine with 10mm-12mm, even 15mm to the extreme.

No , Im not lowered (I don't plan to be), but I really like the 256/35/19/245/35/19 (like the new 205), I was told I should be ok...I like a bit more sidewall...fill in the void and a little better protection for the wheels (in my mind anyway)...

If u stay at stock height, u will be ok with 10mm spacers.
265/35 might work but again be prepared to hear some possible grinding noise in the rear if u have passengers or hit a bump. Lol

Front will be perfectly fine... and rear should also be fine in normal driving conditions since you are at stock height.
I'm just saying the taller 265/35 might touch the rear fenders if you have passengers or hit big bumps at high speed. Other than that you will be fine.
