    What offset are your 19x8.5 wheels?

    if you have 8.5" wheels with ET38 then you are already sitting flush in the front and won't need any spacers; however you could add 5-8mm in the rears.

    The kind of bolt depends on the wheels. OEM wheels use "ball seat" . The OEM lugs are 28mm long so add to that the 8mm or whatever size spacers you get

    HI.

    Re: what size spacers to get

    after you get the wheels, suspension and alignment completed, measure the available space then you can figure it out from there.

    btw, sounds like you have aftermarket wheels, 'most likely' you'll need cone/conical/tapered type bolts.

    we use 14mm x 1.5mm diameter bolts. if no 36 +/- 1 or 2mm is safe, but better to go longer, but not too long.

    Re: what size spacers to get

    I would go with 38mm. If you change your mind and want to get 10mm spacers you don't have to buy new lugs.
