Wheel Spacers / What size do I need?

I'm picking up OEM 19's for my coupe and I want a more Flush set up. I am currently dropped on Tein S.Techs with no camber kit yet.

I am willing to roll my fenders for a more flush fitment.

Okay so I will need acorn lugs to hold the spacers in I assume? Like the ones used for rims with Center caps?

The spacers usually come with lugs already. If they don't, you can probably use stock lugs. But yes, they need to be cone seated just like normal lugs.

yep 25 front and 25 rear is great setup for the 19 OEM. The Ichiba spacers come with the bolts to hold the spacer to the car. You use the stock lug nuts to hold the wheel to the spacer.

Thanks

When I had my oem 19" I had 20mm front and 25mm back and had no issues at all and I thought the car looked pretty good. You can get away with 25mm front and 30mm back but I would keep the stock tire size if I were going with that set up.

I was riding on stock tire size as well as s-techs when I had the oem 19's.

You guys have problems getting tire shops to work on your spacer setups? Here in AZ no one I talk to will touch mine on H&R 25mm so I can't have them rotated or serviced.

I've been rotating myself, but removing a tire to bring it in with a flat or getting new tires mounted/balanced, not good doing it yourself. Lotta time wasted.

Places like discount tire and ntb won't touch your car if you have spacers on. You'll have to take it too a car shop that does mods and other things like that.
