wheel spacer question and help.

I want to get my rims to be more flush on my TL-S

I have a staggered set up with 19x8 front +40 and 19x9.5 rear +40. When looking at the car it seems that the rear sets more flush is this due to the larger width in the rear rims? If this is the case then should I just get some spacers for the front wheels or do I need to get spacers for all 4 wheels??

I am thinking of getting either a 10 or 12mm spacer I want the rims to be flush but not poke out as I do not want to run stretched tires sicne i drive a lot.

any ideas or help is appreciated.

With the offset/width of the wheels, the rears will be out 19mm (3/4") farther than the fronts. If you go with anything over about 5mm on the fronts you'll need longer studs, so better to go with an adapter.

Don't forget that from the factory the front wheels are out father than the rear, maybe 3mm total, so deduct that to get then equal.

ok thanks it looked like the rears sat out more obviously from the width difference. So in order to get the front more flush I should go with a 15mm spacer... is it ok to run just spacers in the front to even out the look?

thanks for your response!

get some 15mm adapter type spacers so you don't have to get extended lugs and bother with all that shit and wheels will be nice and flush
