TIA

How much farther to you want to push out your wheels? A good place to get them from (whatever you decide on) is PureMS

thanks for the link.

i am not sure how much but i want the wheel flush with the fender if that makes sense...

whip out the ruler and measure how far you've got to go to make the wheels flush. Then, convert it to mm and thats the spacer you want

NP. Definitely makes sense and Buegie's suggestion is right on. I asked since mine are very close to flush. Beware of possible rubbing if you're lowered.

Here's mine with 19 x 8.5 Volks (ET 35):

that looks very good! how many mm spacer in the front and back?

what rubber are you running? (width)?

19x8.5 [+35] with 245 rubber should be almost totally flush in the front (mine is anyway). I've thought about putting spacers in the rear, but I don't think it can be more htan 2-3 mm. If you do get spacers, please do post up or pm me and let me know what measurement got you flush.

245 all around

Thanks and no spacers. My tires are 235's (Hankook known to run narrow) and at 25" I rubbed a bit in the back when loaded ...

Steve, how is the ride with the Vogtland coilovers?

I am seriously considering those but I do not want it too rough since this is my daily driver. Thanks.

In a word: Awesome! They provide a firm ride but are considerably smoother than the OEM suspension. I did a few reviews ... check one out here or do a search ...

Cheers !

I'm running 19x9 et32 and its aggressive...perfect IMHO. I had 19x8 et 35 Sportecs and ran 8mm spacers all around and it was pretty sweet looking. I gotta say fitting the 8mm spacers just right is challenging. I would go with a 5mm or 10mm spacer,...they're easier to fit and provide a better surface area for the wheel to mount properly. With some spacers, you might get vibration issues if they are not fit just right.
