19" OEM wheels and spacers

rsyed · 01-25-2009, 06:49 AM

Hi Guys,

question to you 19" OEM owners - have you put spacers on your wheels? how much? front and rear? With 19" oem, i am referring to the likes of 230, m225, performance 269, 199, 179 etc...

thanks

i was told 5mm spacers in the rear of style 230s would be pretty sick. i had style 230s for a while b4 i sold them, and yea i agree, 5mm would definitely be enough to give it a more aggressive look

I've seen people put them on the rear, looks pretty sick, pops out the wheel to give it a wider stance.. They should be around $100, I think I saw someone selling a pair of used ones for like $90..

OEM wheels have extremely conservative offsets so members put huge spacers in the rear depending on the wheel. I have installed 15mm spacers in the rear of one customers car with OEM wheels.

Ok - I will now for for 10mm spacers for the front and 3mm for the rear. Remember the LCI have wider rear track which equates to 11mm spacers on each side.

Thanks

The easiest way is to get a measuring tape and do it yourself. You can always find the desired spacer size when measuring your own tire to fender clearance.
