Here's the setup I just bought. (From a previous vehicle, obviously not the right offsets for a 370)

Front: 19x9.5 +17 - RE050A 255/35/19
Rear: 19x10.5 +18 - RE050A 285/30/19


I know it's not going to look right as is, so what do you think would be the recommended spacers needed?

Currently looking at a 10mm in the rear, also going to pick up some universal 2.5mm ones in the event 10 isn't enough. I've also been told 15mm's would be too much by someone having the same offsets. Anyone else have an opinion in this?

10-15 should be about right for the rear. Your plan sounds like a good call.

Yup, if you get a 10mm spacer for the back, you'll be at +8 offset. That will be plenty aggressive with a bit of camber (-1.6 to -2.0).

The front may be a tad aggressive. With a 9.5 diameter, +22 to +25 would be good with a bit of camber.

Are you lowered?

I will be putting on K&W V3's the same day, so yes I will be lowered when these go on. I currently have a rear camber arm installed, need to get the front but damn they are expensive lol
