Wheel spacer info

I just recently purchased the HP Lightnings (19 X 8.5) from cardana24 and I am thinking about wheel spacers, any suggestions on where to purchase and width of spacer? Also what would be the best tire size for these rims, I was thinking 245/45/19, I am dropped on progress springs.

Thanks,

Mike

That aspect ratio is too high, go with 35 series for that width and diameter....

As for spacers, we need to know the offset...Just go out and measure then buy...Don't make it super flush in the rear though, let it sink in a little because 4th/5th gens don't have camber compression...

Unless you are driving a 6th gen, in which case it will be ok...

Also roll your fenders if you want to space them out...

Thanks for the comments, I have a 6th Gen. The offest is 38MM, I will go with the 35 series aspect ratio. I found some Falken FK452's for a good price, i will probably order them tonight.

Right now my wheels are perfectly flush, if you want that, you have to roll your fenders (look it up) and use about 20mm in the rear, if you are worried about rubbing, then get 15mm and you should be in the clear...

Its possible, its not hard, you have to pay to play...I can't tell you if your going to rub because I don't know...you should be safe with 15mm, 20mm will be cutting it close without a roll...
