Question 25mm spacers on a stock 19"?

Hello folks,

I am planning to get a 25mm spacers on my 05 stock 19" rims.
225/40/19
245/40/19
Just wondering, if I am using both front and rear 25mm; will fit and will it rub the fender? Did not lower the car or anyother stuff (atm)

Brand = H&R DRM
H&R should came with nuts right?
Will there be anyother stuff I have to do? cutting bolt etc...? Or just DIY unscrew and screw?


Advice Advice Advice !!! Thx !!

I recommend extended wheel studs if you get any spacers.

You dont need the extended wheels stud, the H&R drm's dont need that. they come with news studs pre-installed in the spacers because the stocks studs are 25 mm long, so the fit completly inside the spacers and this spacers come with the nuts to install the spacers to the stock studs wich also stays inside the spacers. The wheels install in the new studs with the stock nuts, clean and in the exact center.

You should get H&R Trac+ Hub Centric Wheel Spacers. They come with the extended bolts as well. I think 25mm for the front will rub. Take a ruler and measure the length of spacer between the sidewall and inner fender. It it's less than 25mm, it will rub. I am getting 25mm rear and 15mm front.

Is there a consensus on the best (cheapest) place to order these or other high-quality spacers?

aggressive offset with skinny tires is going to look very weird.

you should go with 15mm's max (optionimports.com has kics's)

Along with the comments on skinny, and the effort for studs...what would make you want to stone-chip the sides of your car, more-so?

Holy crap! 25mm spacers?! Dude that's a lot. I would stay away from spacers if you can. If you have to get spacers, I wouldn't go beyond 5mm.
