What size spacers do I need?

I'm looking at the Ichiba V2's, but I am unsure exactly what size I need. I want that flush look but not anything that is so aggressive it sticks out past the fender. I also don't want to have to roll the fenders. I have an '07 6MT on 19's w/ brand new Hankook tires 245/35/19 fronts and 255/40/19 rears sitting at stock height (and plan on staying at stock height for awhile). Would 25mm on all 4 corners give me the look I'm after? Note: I did search this topic but most people don't include what size tires they are running in their threads...as I know this will make a difference in spacer sizing.

Do you have stock 19s? Aftermarket? And if aftermarket, what offset?

I’m guessing your on OEM 19s. Go with 25mm spacers and whichever brand you go with make sure you get the ones with built in studs. You won’t rub especially since you’re not lowered. Check out my pics and you will see what it would look like. I was dropped on Tein S Techs though. 25mm will put you flush with the fender.

The G on the right has 25mm on the rear, it isn't exactly flush but close. 25's on the front will work perfectly. You could always measure how far the sidewall is from the fender.

I believe the Ichiba V2's come w/ built in studs...someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, what size tires where you running w/ the 25mm spacers?

Measuring tape or ruler is fine. 25.4mm = 1in. Yes, the ichiba V2's have the built-in studs. At stock height, you should be fine with 25mm spacers all around. Once you measure it, you'll see if it'll rub or not.

^^ That's a good size to run.

On my OEM 19's, I ran 15mm F and 25mm R. I kind of wish that I had run 20mm in the front tho.

As for tire sizes. Run 225 / 35 or 225 / 40 for your Rays. I had Michellin Sports 225 / 40 on mine.

That's mine with the spacers installed and when I still had my OEM Rays.

I wanted to run 275's in the rear so bad but w/ an 8.5" wide wheel I felt like it was pushing it. The tire specs called for at least a 9" wide wheel w/ the 275's. I would have probably been ok (as many on here run this size and have no probs), but I didn't want to risk it.

I have seen the thread but it's a lot to sift through. So w/ my tire setup you think 25mm in the front would be past flush? I am going to measure to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the info but I think you confused some of my post. I just bought 245/35/R19 fronts and 255/40/R19 rear Kankook tires so I wasn't asking for tire suggestions. I decided on these sizes because I wanted a little more aggressive look than the OEM sizes.

I'm like the king of spacers of oem wheels.

I started off with 15/20, then 20/20, then 25/30 and then 20/30.

all with the same tire size as you currently have.

Best setup for me was the 20/30. The lower you are, the more negative camber you'll have to run for the wider spacers. thats why I went with 20F

kinda dumb in my opinion to run a lot camber on oem wheel setup, just so you can get a larger spacer and flush look. (in regards to the fronts)

also, lower you are in the rear with 25-30 width spacer a fender roll will be needed.

Well I don't plan on changing the camber nor do I plan on lowering the vehicle. That being said would you go w/ 20mm front and 25mm rear? I have found the Ichiba V2 spacers for $123/set shipped...is that a good deal or can I find them cheaper?

P.S. you have spent a small fortune in spacers! lol

Actually.. I bought my first pair really cheap, then sold them for the next pair.

No drop, then go 25 all around.

Hit up MrWong, vendor here and he has one of the best prices. Are you in Socal? if so, the price will be even better.
