best front offset for 19" on coilovers

Sniz · 04-21-2008, 03:38 PM

I'm running VMR CSL reps on the front of my car and feel they need spacers to get a little more aggressive offset. I believe the VMR offset for the front wheels is et40.

Do you think a 5mm or 10mm spacer would work given the car is lowered on coilovers?

For reference. sorry for the edited photo, best angle I had of my car to show front offset. Its pouring out, otherwise I would take a better shot just for this thread.

I have 19x8 et 40 wheels with H&R coilovers, and am currently running a 10mm spacer up front. It works well, rubs slightly over large bumps, but this is an E90 not E92. However, your setup may not rub depending on how low you are...my front coils are almost all the way down.

Are the VMRs a 19x8 or 19x8.5?

8.5

I just ordered 5mm spacers w/ new lugs...H&R.
