Question Need feedback on spacers for M45 wheels

What mm spacers do I need for the 19" M45 sport rims. I've searched numerous threads, but I keep running into different numbers? Do I need 5mm or 10mm? Thanks guys!

I've seen others put 10mm spacers when doing the M rims.

Oh and you didn't search hard enough

4 threads down when I did a search for M35 rims

Just to use the rims and not rub anything, you would need a bare minimum of 5mm in the front. The rears are fine without a spacer.

For visual appeal, its just up to you and your personal preference. You can go with anything between 5mm to 15mm front and back and still not rub. I had a set of 15mm all around and I thought it looked great. It was nice, aggressive, and the tires stayed within the fender line. The car is slightly lowered and ran 245/40/19. My fenders are not rolled.

In regards to performance, I've only tried stock vs. 15mm so I can't say whether a 5mm or a 10mm would be better. In comparison to stock though, the 15mm spacers did give the car a more sure-footed feel.

As a general recommendation, I might recommend going with 10mm all around. Be sure you get a set with extended studs and hubcentric rings too.

I don't think the rear requires anything... if anything, most people have just put on 5mm spacers front and rear

Is it fairly easy to install spacers? I have had no exposure or experience with em. I don't know what to expect i guess.

Expect to have to install longer studs as well. With 5mm spacers the lug will barely thread on there, and with 10's, I doubt it'll fit at all.
