Default wheel spacer needed ?

I have stock sport wheels with 20mm spacers all around. The wheels I will be putting on are.

Front 19X9 +15
Rear 19X10.5 +20

I want the same fitment on the new wheels as the Rays with the 20mm spacers. Am I going to need any sort of spacers on the front or rear? Thanks for the help guys.

Well it actually depends on the new wheels. I got some Varrstoen ES2.2.2s that were 19x9.5 +22 and I needed a spacer so that the wheel cleared the Akebono calipers.

This is very true. Rep to you sir.

OP, wheel design matters. Like Work Meisters don't fit without huge offsets

I know the wheel will clear the calipers , I just want the same flush fitment I have now, or as close as possible. The reason I'm asking is I wanted to order the spacers I my need before the wheels are shiped. The rear tires on the sports are 305/30/19 if this makes any difference. Should I just wait and see how they look? Thanks for all the responses guys. For some reason my mind has a hard time making sense of the offset/spacer thing.

depending on your tire setup and drop height you should be able to get them very flush with your fenders w/o any spacers

Stock Rays are

19x9 +47
19x10 +30

with your 20mm spacers you will be:

19x9 +27
19x10 +10

Your new wheels are:

19x9 +15 which is 12mm further out from your Rays with a 20mm spacer or 32mm further out than stock with no spacer
19x10.5 +20 which is 3.7mm further in than your stock Rays with 20mm spacer or 16.3mm further out than stock with no spacer

So from the sound of this they should actually look better than my current setup. Because the fronts could actually come out some more. And the rears poke a tad since I put the 305's on. Thanks for the calculation, now it starting to click.
