What exactly do I need to make the stock 19's flush (Tax return time)

I dont like how the 19's are tucked so far into the fender, but I'm not sure what exactly to get.

I hear 15mm, 25, 30....what is necessary to make them flush and not cause problems rubbing or lugs breaking off.


Would you kindly inform me of what items from what website, brand, and size I would need to give it that flush look without compromising the car.

I went with 25mm in the rear and 20mm in the front. I know a few people who feel 30mm in the rear and 25mm in the front is more flush...Different people have different opinion

OP, is your car lowered at all?

everyone else, does it look stupid to put spacers on if it's NOT lowered? cause i've been thinking about doing it

I have the Ichiba V2 Hubcentric spacers and have no problems...

I have 25mm spacers on the front and rear..

I have the car lowered about an 1 inch.

My opinions on the spacers are that I could easily use 30mm spacers on the back. I am going to end up just getting slightly wider tires for now to clear the gap. Anyways just to let you know the problem I ran into was the same one you will run into. Ichiba doesn't make 30mm spacers, they only make up to 25mm. So you might have to settle on another brand to make things flush.

I have 25mm Kics Spacers without hubcentric rings up front and 30mm kick spacers in the rear without hubcentric rings from Concept Z Performance. I believe the purpose of hubcentric rings are used if your going out of OEM Spec I thought....
