Default Spacers on stock 19 inch propeller rims. Advice appreciated!

Hi everyone,

new to the forum and tried to research to avoid duplicating threads and couldn’t find much on what spacers to use with the stock 19 propeller rims. Any advice/ pics would be greatly appreciated.

im runnin the stock propellor rims. 19/8.5 et50 front with 245/40 zeros, rear are 19/9.5 et27 275/35. I plan on also be lowing the car with KW suspension height adjustable spring kit. I’m thinking 15mm front and 17mm rear? I have seen this combo mentioned a lot but it seems to always be around the 20 inch rims which have larger diameter/width and different offset. Apologies for the short novel but hoping to give y’all all the info you need lol. If I missed a post feel free to point me in the right direction. And feel free to comment if you have had experience with the kw suspension kit. Thanks!!!

Welcome! I have the 15mmF/17mmR spacers on my 18 inch wheels and it is lowered with H&R springs...looks great. Two comments.

First, I would wait until you have lowered the car and then choose your spacers. Also, I am not sure whether the 17mm spacers on the rear made much of a visual difference [as opposed to what the 15's would have looked like]. You're most likely good either way you go.

Default Spacers

seems like people go 20mm rears and 17 fronts. I would also wait until you lower it so you can see the gap>

I have 19" stock Centifuge Wheels. I have been running 17mm spacers on all fours for 2 years now with no issues and aggresive profile. Your KW Lowering kit should work.
20mm space was a no go for me. Structural Integrity AND having to roll or shave the fender edge was not appealing to me.
Many more players here with far more knowledge than I.
