Best spacer size(s) for this..

Trying to get my coupe flush. My wheels are 19x9 (+26) front and 19x10.5 (+19).

Tires are 255/35 and 275/35 if it matters.

You'll need some big spacers if you want to be flush...

How big? Wheels don't look too tucked as it is, but bringing them out a little would make them look that much better.

What's wrong with negative offsets? Go with 0 F/R then. If you dont have a the resources to drive slammed, then don't. But I don't see why just negative offsets would be insensible... Either way, your car, your choice! Best of luck

well since you do have somewhat week offsets but you have wide tires and wide rims you would need like a 20 up front and 15 in the rear to be really flush, i've got rims that are +12 offsets with pretty much the same tires and rim setup and i poke in the rears and the fronts are money so just try to get to around +10 and its flush from there down to the negatives, depending on how much negative camber your willing to do

15 and 20 sound like they'd do the trick. I don't wanna poke out and don't wanna change the suspension if I don't have to. Already dropped on NF210s and the ride is comfy.

well the only real change you might have to do is get a rear camber kit so you don't rub or just go with like 255's in the rear which will help with the clearance also

If you don't want anything too extreme, then you could easily go with the same offsets that I have. You can look at my picture album in my profile if you want. I'm +15 all around.

But what I could recommend your front be set at for a decent look, you could go with a +15mm spacer in the front to put you at +11. It won't be really flush since you're on a 9" wheel, but it will be pretty damn close and it will look good.

As for the rear, you're a 10.5 +19. If you don't want to run negative camber, then for your rears I would suggest maybe a 5mm or 10mm spacer. +14 or +9 would look fine too. Again, you won't be fully flush, but pretty damn close to a point where you won't need to run any negative camber.

Just like I mentioned above, I'm at a +15 all around and I like the way it looks. To me, its a semi-aggressive look.

15mm spacer front and 10mm rear should do the trick

I was running 19x9.5 +5 rear with a 275/35 tire and I rubbed slightly on dips with rolled fenders and 3.2 degree camber..but I was tucking tire with my drop. So for you I would definitely do a 10mm spacer with what you want.

As for the front I would do a 20..

Just ordered a set of 10 and 15s. Hope this works out the way I want it to.
