what size wheel spacer?

What size wheel spacer should i get and what brand is the best? i see the studded version and the bolt version which one is better? i currently have a coupe with the OEM 19 inch rims(07). What is a safe offset to purchase and what brand is the best?

well I see that you got coilovers, go with Project Kics or Ichiba Version 2 spacers....

for very agressive do 30 in the rear, and 25 in the front... (you might need to throw on a little negative camber in the rear, cuz tires might stick out past the fender a little)

for conservative go with 25 rear and 25 or possibly 20 in the front

Spacers....FAIL!

Hey Kid, why not save your $ and buy really good wheels that have the correct offset so you won't need spacers. Ask anyone in the alignment
business and they'll tell you spacers are bad news....that's my opinion too!

do NOT do 30.. that its just too much and makes the tires look weird, i have a 25 all around on mine, however i agree with gary, just let this be a temporary situation until you get good wheels, im only doing it because no money for wheels n i hate the ugly tucking wheel look as i am so low, but do 25 all around (depending how low you are) and get ichiba v2, b2autodesigns sells them on here
