That's more important, since this is the wheel you'll be using the spacers with.

the Alzor 656 , 18"x8" ET35 , I won't be needing any spacers with that offset.

I'm going to have them put on my stock continentals.

From what I researched this should work with out a hitch on stock sport suspension.

Ah ok. I though you were planning on using the spacers with your new wheels.

Looks like stock 18X8's are ET46. So they will sit in slightly more.

I read the lower the ET the farther out they will sit.

ex: So ET46 plus 10mm spacer = ET35

Correct. I was referring to the comparison between the 19's and 18's. The 19's are ET49 and the 18's are ET46. So just going by offset alone the 18's will sit out a touch further than the 19's

With the addition of the spacers you lower the offset by 10mm thus pushing them out further.
