Wheel spacers advice
I have OE H&R springs on 19" y-wheel. I am contemplaing adding wheel spacers and looking for advice/experience sharing for the safest size for spacers with the most bang factor. Not wanting the wheel so stick out but to be as flush as possible with the wheel well.
Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated

Here's a helpful diagram that will help with how to measure what size spacers you will need to meet your goals.
We carry a complete line of H&R wheel spacers check out the link below.

Pete,
I already signed up for auto-notify for when the 15mm H&R spacers will be in stock. I don't want to go too wide that I lose the OEM steering feel, but 10mm will be OK. If I waiut for the 15mm, will that be all around?.

Can you please clarify what you mean by if you wait for the 15mm that will be all around?
Thanks,
Pete
Thanks,
Pete

Wait until you have 15mm in stock. And is it recommended to go for 15mm front and rear, because I see a lot of 15mm front and 20mm rear. I don't know whether it is functionality or purely aesthetic reasons. Again, I want to be as close as possible to the OEM feel

Oh okay - as far as steering feel, I'm pretty sure running spacers will have no effect.
It's all about personal preference honestly, and how flush/poked out you want your wheels to sit with the fenders.
Are you lowered?
The amount of lowering done to your car will effect how much you can space out your wheels since there's a greater chance you will rub.
Another thing to note is what offset your wheels are and what size tires you are using.
The best thing you can do is measure how the diagram shows and go from there.
If there's any other questions I can help you with don't hesitate to ask!

The wheel size is 255/35 19 and the offset is 32. Car is sitting on H&R OEM springs. I will measure the gap tonight, but again regardless I'll still be debating between 10" and 15" spacers
