Last minute check before purchase.

What are your offsets? Why would you run spacers if you were ordering a new set of wheels?

I was under the impression that spacers would be needed in order to be more aesthetically pleasing. I am coming from the base 18s with no suspension mods to 19s and being lowered, figured it would look goofy without buying them.

I am completely in the dark as far as wheels and tires, this will be the first aftermarket ones i have ever had on any car so I am a little overwhelmed.

I found this in the fitment thread and instantly fell in love with that stance. Emailed a few rim places online and one on this forum with that picture and link where I was placing my order and almost everybody said run +15mm around to get that stance with the offsets the website offers. So that is why I was planning to buy spacers even with the new wheels. If I am wrong by all means, correct me.

Also I assumed when somebody posts a link when asking a question the people who reply you know...open and actually read it to provide an educated response. Call me crazy.

So the pic from your LINK is the offset look you want? To me thats a little weak for an offset. i prefer the pics below.
19x9.5+15
19x10.5+0 or 19x11+10

Also if i am reading correctly you are doing
19x9.5+15 with 15mm spacer so 9.5+0???-- THIS WILL BE WAYYYYY TOO AGGRESSIVE if so!!
19x10.5+15 with 15 mm spacer so 10.5+0



If you can avoid spacers thats ideal but they do serve a good purpose for one piece wheels that cant go as low of an offset as 2 and 3 piece wheels can.
