Spacer Size?

About to order KW HAS lowering springs for my coupe and I want to get spacers as well, but not sure what size spacers to get with my stock 19/20 wheels. Tried a search, but could not find an answer. Can anyone please help?

if you're lowering it... I had 18mm fronts and 12mm rears.

Few pics below... with the 12mm rears you can change to 295s in the future and still be good (no scrubbing)

Front




Rear



This is with 295s in the rear


Hope this helps

Hi Sanch, if you use spacers does that mean you need a new set of lug bolts as the OEM would be too short? If so, then what did you replace lock bolt with?

You cannot use the OEM lug nuts with spacers. Depending on the spacer size you will need to get lug nuts accordingly. I would let the shop you're purchasing spacers from advise you correctly. Ideally, they should come as a package (they did for me).
