    Help me do the math for spacers to get a perfect fit!

    Hey guys.

    Though I perfectly understand how wheel sizes and offset works, I'm trying to figure out what spacers to run to get a nice flush fit with the new (used) wheels I plan to run. They're 19x8.5 et 35 in the front, 19x10 et 45 in the rear. I know that the rears will probably rub inside at 45, so I'm trying to decide what millimeter spacers to run in the back to get flush with the fronts and also not rub inside. Once I know what's even, I'll know how much bigger to run in back and what to add in front to get that perfect fitment all around and right by them fenders. Should note that I'm lowered a bit.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Your variance here is 8mm in favor of the 10". The 8.5 ET35 likes a 25mm spacer for flush on 255 up front. So you'd want to run a 20mm rear to get close to even. 3mm more at the rear is a great look. But you must also account for what tire sizes you plan to run. So yea, 25mm front and 20mm rear will leave you with a 3mm variance, in favor of the rear. 10" ET25 on 275 is a really popular fit for these cars. 255/35 front and 275/30 is with tolerance. Even better 245 front. Hope that helps!

    The current wheels, which I'd like to keep on cause they're basically brand new, are 215/35/19 all around. Since I'm a bit low, as I said, I was thinking 20 up front and 15 in back? Whatcha think?

    215 on 10"?? Yikes. In that case, 25 up front, and 20 at the back.

    so you have new (used) wheels that you plan to run, but then have the current wheels which you would like to keep on.....I'm confused.

    I suggest you swap those tires out for proper spec'd ones. Your rolling diameter is really off with the 215s, so your speedo will be off, and you might confuse the ABS system.
