If you're set on OEM 19's+ spacers, try 15/20mm or 20/25mm or 15/25mm. This comming from a guy who's currently running 20/20mm. Fronts look more pumped up than the rears, but I am running 245/40R19's all around. Also spacers exaggerates the OEM ride height even more now that the wheels are basically flushed instead of tucked (visually, not actually)

you beat me to it. On a coupe, 19" OEM whls + spacers (only for the rear imo) with 255 width or so or even stock size of 245 with spacers to improve rear offset would be great.

Is your car lowered or is it stock suspension? Looks low

Dont waste time on the OEM 19's unless you REALLY want them, I thought i wanted them when i got them a while ago but they got old. Regardless of how they look good on the coupe, they are too tucked in and the lip is WAY too small, which is why i sold them and bought aftermarket.

exactly, I mean so you can't use the lip to take a nap on, big deal. More lip makes the wheel look smaller in diameter anyway. Plus, if you don't want to attract too much attention, the rays are great and they are hella light and classy. With his spacers and 1" drop, that looks great.

As far as getting tired of them, by that token you will get tired of the aftermarkets in no time as well, trust me "wheel-whoring" can be a financial money-pit.

I am looking for aftermarket wheels, but I am gonna keep the 19". The 19" are light and I can use em when I go to the tracks. If you think the wheels are to tucked in you can get some spacers which will help it out alot.

I have a set of OEM 18s and 19s and like both a lot. I'm not completely sold on spacers, except from a visual standpoint. You're welcome to convince me otherwise.

i like the look of spacers on stock wheels. imo, it is the easiest and cheapest way to make the stance a little more aggressive.
