Unhappy What kind of spacers...

Hey guys i need help I'm tired of looking at the gap between my wheels and my fender so i was wondering what kind of spacers i should run; size, tread pattern, etc. Also my front fenders aren't rolled so keep that in mind. My wheel size are 19x9.5 +24 front and 19x10.5 +15 rear. I have size 305/30/19 rear tires and 245/35/19 front tires so please give me some advice on what type of spacers i should run and what i need to know about it. Thank you

here are some pics of my car:

Maybe 10 front 5 rear and lower it a tad more if you can. Do you not rub yet?

From the pics it looks fine anymore spacing and you're going to need to roll those fenders or add Neg Camber? You may consider maybe coilovers to drop it a hair

Have you thought about doing a front camber kit first? Im waiting on SPL to release one. That would push the top on.your.front wheels out quite a bit right there. Your setup is very similar to mine. I have 305/30 rear on 11" but you have 2mm more wheel to the outside vs me in the rear. I was thinking of doing 10mm spacers rear. I have only -1.2 rear camber now but I think -1.4 is the max id like to run.

I don't know... your spacing looks pretty close to dead on right now. Perhaps when you need to replace your front tires, you could go with a 255-265 and that will fill in the gap nicely.

Perhaps make sure the camber front and rear, is exactly what you want and then reconsider. Are you going for hellaflush?

This is your best bet. Going with 10-15mm spacers is going to make the wheels poke out too much.
