stock 19 rays

Hey guys,
I am still using my stock 19" rays, looking to make them sit flush. I'm not very savy with offsets and such, so to get a nice flush fit what spacers do I need? I don't want them to sit hella flush, just flush. So no crazy setups please

Thanks

25mm is what i have and i really like it, people may recommend 20/25 or even 15/20. personally after doing mine, there is no way in hell you would get me to put either of those setups on over 25 all around

20-25 mm spacers.

You could drop it, but then you are dealing with paying for the springs or coilovers, camber kit, and a re-alignment, and anything you hit when you scrape (potholes, etc), It's all based on how much you wanna spend, and how bad you think the roads are in the area.

I am think 25mm all the way around and putting on some Tien H-tech springs. That drop should be small enough that I don't have to worry about camber. Would I need to re-align still though?

The speed bumps are bad here at school and I have an injen exhaust which sits fairly low so I don't think I can get away with more than what the H techs offer (like 0.6" drop)

I would not feel safe running anything larger than 15mm spacers. Ive heard and seen a few horror stories.
your call though.

You don't feel safe running anything larger than 15 mm but many here on driver run low offsets, but yet you don't say anything about that?

That's wierd...

I seem to be the only one on here who also had rubbing on the back set with NO drop...but either case the 25's look nice back there and a mild roll later...voila!
