Spacers for stock 19s need help please

Hey guys I went to a rim shop this weekend and the guy there told me he wouldn't recommend spacers because it'll cost me about 800 bucks to get it fully installed is this true? He said if I put spacers they have to change a bunch of things because my bolts will be too short and they won't fit... Long story short what do I need to make my stock 19s look a little better or should I just save up for wheels? Any recommendations?

Thank you

+1 Ichiba V2

25mm all around is perfect BUT if you plan on going lower you will need to roll your rear fenders to keep the spacers on

i personally have the V2's 25mm on all 4



EDIT: B2 Autodesigns is a vendor on here great people, free fast shipping and they beat out just about anyones price

Are you talking about the stock 19" RAYs rims? If so.. I'm interested in putting some spacers on mine as well. I don't plan on lowering the car at all because the roads here in DC kind of suck and my wife also drives the car (not saying she can't drive lol)

Anyone have any pics of spacers on stock 19" RAYS rims? after putting on spacers, do I need to get an alignment or any other stuff with camber or will it be perfectly fine?

No alignment needed for just spacers.

go 25/30, if you can take off your wheels, you can install your spacers. Just make sure you get one with built in studs and hubcentric.

also depends on what your camber is or if you're planning on straightening your camber back to spec.
