Question

Almost time to put the winters back on and would like to know what size spacers I would need before doing the switch.

Right now, I have 235/35/19s on the front and 265/30/19s on the rear:

These are the stock 17"s (I've replaced the Turanzas with 210 Sottozeros):

Car's been lowered with H&R Sports, and I'm quite sure it will look "funny" if I get put the stock wheels back on without spacing them out a little. These 17" wheels are still in storage elsewhere so I'm not able to do any measuring myself...

I've read somewhere that 15mm would be the ones to go with (both fronts and rears?); but want to be sure before ordering. And I don't mind them set in a little (to avoid any rubbing, which the 265/30/19s are doing).

Thanks in advance for your advice and recommendation(s)

I would recommend measuring the gap to assure you buy the proper spacer for your specific fitment.

In general, I always recommend using this technique to measure the distance between the tire and fender. This is the best way to measure how thick of a spacer you’ll need because each car setup varies due to different tire/rim setups and/or specific year/model of vehicle.

I recommend going with H&R TRAK+ spacers as they are a tried and true product. They’re made in Germany under ISO 9001 Quality Assurance standards, and meet the rigid safety criteria of the German TÜV.

As always, do a search for more information and other members’ suggestions.

Feel free to shoot me a PM/email, or call if you had any other questions or concerns.
