my 19x9.5 +17 up front are about as aggressive as I would ever go on the front...

For those rim sizes and offsets you will NOT need a spacer on the front, that offset is perfect... the rear you may need a 5-10mm spacer, to match the front and/or make it a touch more aggressive......

I have a 19x9.5+17 on front and its flush.... rear is 19x10.5+18 and I have a 10mm H&R and a 2.5mm spacer on there from z1 making it 19x10.5+5.5 and its about as flush as I could ask for.. so you having 11" wheels I think just the 10mm may be perfect.. possibly a smidge too much but thats all your preference but I am sure it will be fine...

do you have the stock lugs? It is not hard to swap them at all if necessary, just follow the DIY... because you def wont need or want a spacer up front... and you might as well put the stock lugs in... and if you choose to keep the longer studs in, do you have open ended lug nuts ?

I also would drop the car as any wheel looks much better with a good drop... what wheels are you thinking of getting?

(Also, I would use extended studs on any spacer 5mm or larger... you possibly could get away with a 5mm with stock lugs but I wouldnt... you would def need extended studs for a 10mm spacer)
