Can anyone give me some good advice?

I need to make a decision by tommorow and i havent had any luck asking the same question in the wheel section. Anyways i bought some really nice wheels ( the offsets arnt the best but they look great) and i want to get some spacers. Here are the specs of the wheels

19x8.5 40mm front
19x9.5 35mm rear

would a 25mm spacer go best in the front and a 20mm spacer in the rear or do i have them mixed up? If i do go with a 25mm in the front and a 20mm in the rear would i have to roll my fenders? Thanks so much

The biggest spacers that I've seen are 25mm. If you insist on keeping these wheels, then throw 25's on all four corners. It won't be flush, but it's the closest you'll get. You'll want to roll/cut the rear fenders (fronts come rolled from the factory).

IMO, ditch these wheels for some with better fitment.

Assuming your drop/camber/tires requires it, then yeh. I'd roll the rears to be safe.

25's on all 4!
Then they'll be 15 front and 10 rear for offsets
But yeah they won be flush
I'm running a 9.5 rear with -1 offset and it's still not flush

Also with 25mm spacers, will i have to mody my stock lug studs? Will they stick out too far through the spacer that they will actually be pressed up against the wheel?

Im just worried that the wheel wont be able to sit flush against the spacer because of the factory studs will be too long.

25mm spacers will either come with built in studs or separate extended studs. Extended studs are recommended for any spacers beyond 3mm.

The ones im looking at has holes for your factory lugs to go through and it has new studs pressed in. Now when i slide the 25mm spacer over the factory studs, are the factory studs going to stick out to far from the spacer and the wheel, rather than sitting flush against the spacer, will be sitting against the lugs? Im just worried thats how its going to be and i might have to cut the factory studs down so the wheel will sit flush against the spacer?!?!

Not all wheels will accept bolt on spacers. If your wheels have room for the stock lugs to go into, then you'll be fine. Just take a look at the back of your wheels and see if there is space.

I hate camber. Stock camber eats tires with 500 thread.

Why not just get more aggresive wheels?

IMO, 8.5f/9.5r is a weak setup for a coupe, especially in the offsets you've mentioned in prior threads.

Anyhow, good luck and enjoy!
