Need help with wheel fitment

Hey everyone

I have a set of 19x8.5 +45 wheels on my 04 TL, it is lowered about 3 inches all around, and I want to have the wheels sit flush with the fenders. Front tire size is 235/35/19 and the rear is 255/30/19. Rear fenders are rolled and the front I will have done soon, but I want to know the best sized spacers to run to where they won't rub too much
I was told 20mm on the front and 25mm in the rear but I'm not sure how bad the tires will rub. My stock 17s are also the stock tire size and I tend to switch up wheels once in a while.

Any suggestions?

You're going to rub in the front with anything more than a 10mm spacer. I had a 18x8.5 +30 235/40/18 up front and constantly rubbed my fenders, eventually gashing my tires. Since you're running a 255 in the rear, I wouldn't suggest anything over 15mm for back there. I had 18x8.5 +25 245/40/18 and rubbed over bumps or during turns at speed.

Were your fenders rolled?

Measuring with a tape measure isn't really accurate

Rears are rolled, fronts are stock. There isn't much to roll up front, there's no lip like there is in the rear.

I guess we will both need to run thinner tires
