I have a 2nd gen sedan that is lowered about 2.5-3 inches, I am running 19 x 10 +37 R and 19 x 9 + 41 F. What sizes spacers should I run up front to get the front and rear to match?

^ that you an GSP in your avatar?

I'd throw a 20mm spacer up front. What size tire you have on them? You could probably even throw a spacer on the rear and still be alright.

What's your camber set to?

That is GSP and I!! I typically don't take photos with the guys when they come through the gym during camp, but it's GSP. I have 275/30 on the rear and 235/35 on front. The rear sits perfectly for me, but the front needs help. Also what spacers are really good?

Agreed, I'm never one to be stoked to meet people but when I met GSP I was half impressed haha.

Then yea, go for a 15 or 20mm, you'll be fine with those.

Everyone here likes Ichiba, however I hate ichiba the studs strip out in the long run and the nuts round off if you keep using them.

Project kics, H&R and the ebay brand are the best in my opinion (in that order)

I think I'll go with the Kics, my dilemma now is 15 or 20mm

Post a pic of how low it is. If you have enough camber up front you will have no issue at all with the 20mm.

Will this setup work for a coupe lowered on S-Techs with rolled rear fenders?

19x9.5 +15 front and 19x11 +20 rear

I'll be mounting my existing tires on (245/35/19 and 285/35/19)

As long as you have the natural camber from the Stechs. Yes.

255/30/20 or 265/30/20 to match the front 225/35/20?
Front wheels are 20x9 +10 (now, but will be closer to 0 once the new tires are on) rear are 20x10 +25. Sedan, lowered about 1.5" (will be adjusted so there is no fender gap). Camber is at -2.1 degree, fender is rolled flat with a slight pull.
Tires are Falken 452's

Are they that bad?
I've had them in the past and I liked them.
You told me 245/35 last time as well, but I didnt listen (and look who's buying tires again after 3 months).
I have 245/35 and 255/35 currently. I had the tire shop mount one of the 245's on the rear wheels and to be honest it looked no different (fitment) than the 255/35 so now you have me considering that.
I hate to mismatch tires, but I could move my front Nitto NT555's to the rear and have the 22/35 falkens mounted up front to save a little cash.....although the Nitto are summer tires and the Falken are all season.

Alright guys. First question of being registered here. I'm buying some new rears for my Coupe. They're 275/35/19 Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110. I'm extremely new to the whole offset, spacer, such and such with rims and tires. What dimensions of rims would fit those tires?
And what should I know before buying so I don't buy wrong?

Always gotta listen!

Falkens bubble up and they burn out way to quick. I'll take nankangs over falken any day.

19x10 or 19x10.5 would be most suitable for those rear tires. Aim for the offset to be in or around +15 to +20ish.

If you find a set of wheels just get the width and offset and ask in here. I check it regularly so I'll answer your questions!
