deciding on front spacers

I plan on buying 19x8 rims. Offset comes in 40. I ordered 20mm spacers for the rear. Should the fronts be flush or do I need to get some spacers?

I think 8 wide in the rear + 20mm spacers with a 3 inch drop would make your tires rub...

I'm running 8.5 wide rims with 245/40/18 tires...and my rear rims aren't running any spacers...I am about 2.5 inches from stock and the tire comes real close to the outter fender...I'm sure with a 20mm spacer it would easily stick out and rub against it...

So to answer your question...no the fronts will not be flush...if you really wanna use those 20mm spacers...I suggest going for a mild drop and running maybe a 10mm in the front

prob something mild...i'd say 5mm or 10mm....anything above that and slamming the car will cause u to rub....

if you look at my car...the clearance for the rear tire and the fender is not too much....

you can always try out those 20mm spacers...and since you have coilovers...adjust the ride height to a point where the 20mm would work with your setup...

yea i don't have my car slammed of the roads where I live. Just a clean drop.
I want my rims flush with the fenders.


What would be the best rim offset for the rear on a 19x8 rim for the rear on our cars?

My tire will be a 235/35/19

I have 18x8.5 and 42mm offset with 245/40/18 all around...

your 8 wide with 40mm offset should sink in a "tad" more than my 8.5 wide @ 42mm...just letting u know...thats if you get 245/40/18 tires
