Bridging the gap..... The wheel gap that is!

Fellow G lovers

I'm in the process of changing my wheels and after reading different threads regarding wheel size, offsets, aggressive vs non-aggressive I'm totally indecisive and not sure if I got the right wheel setup

My current wheels are 18's (225/40f & 245/40r) not sure what the offset is but the wheels are almost in the engine & trunk. Wrong wheels by the previous owner

I bought 19's 19/8.5 +15 in the front & 19/9.5 +20 in the rear. Tires, 245/35f & 275/35r
I'm not a fan of anything too aggressive and with the specs I have I should be ok. Just wanted get opinions on my setup as a daily driver

Will I poke out at all? Do I need spacers? I'm really looking for a flush look with my fenders

fronts will be tucked in about 1.2 inches.

rears will be tucked a good amount as well (i think)

I'll take those wheels over what I have now! Lol So I guess I might need spacers to be flush?

Your sizes sound like mine- I ended up with a full inch on the front and half on the rears.

Regardless i will pass on some advice I received- and that was to take a stack of washers and put them on first- then put the wheels on... Just for fit. Once you get the fit you like, measure the washers. Buy said spacers-

That worked for me- just make sure youre at the stance height you want... You'll have to buy another set if you decide to drop or raise... It changes the fit.

Do you have the new wheels on your coupe yet? Post pic, your offsets sound about right without getting to "Trendy!"
