Wink What size wheel spacer with my volks 19x8.5 +36??

Id like to kick my front rims out a bit, with the above mentioned size, would I need 5mm or 10 mm with my eibach pro-kit drop?

thanx in advance

also, id prefer not to swap hubs if possible, so if the 10mm will work without a new hub ill do that, otherwise will 5mm work with just a spacer?

im not an offset expert but if also depends on how wide your tires are and what the camber is set at. 5mm is very small, hardly noticable. i basically just did trial and error. I started with 15mm and it was good, then i got a camber kit and anlignment and needed to go up to 20mm. then I wanted the lip to poke out so I got skinnier tires and went with 25 now. (this is my rear wheels)

if you take a picture and post it people will probablly get a better idea of what you need, and it depends on how aggressive you want the wheels to be

10mm would make them flush nicely I believe, 15 would be a little on the aggressive side

Are the offsets on sedan and coupe the same?

I am running 245/40/19 on the front with 8.5" width +36. So im assuming 245/35 with 10mm spacer will be ok? Looks like either way ill be needed new hub with longer studs correct?

depending if your wheels have the indented spaces on the back of them, you can use the v2 spacers that just bolt on. if they don't have the indented spaces you have to swap the studs, unless you ran 25mm spacers 25mm and up you can use bolt on spacers without the stock studs sticking out past the spacer.

Sorry OP, I don't mean to thread jack but I'm having the same issue with my fronts too. I was wondering what spacer size would work best for me?

Fronts are 19x9.5+38 245/35/19
