Hey guys, I want a proper stance. I was wondering what is the most aggressive offset I could have with my specs, I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs.

Here there are:
19" Miro 111
F 19x8.5+35 235/35/19
R 19x9.5+33(+5mm spacer) 265/30/19
All wrapped in Falken452.

I don't mind if the rear fenders need to be rolled.

Let me know, Thanks!

On a 19"x9.5 wheel I've found the following will and won't work:

10mm spacers (et23) with a roll

12mm spacers(et21) with a heavy duty roll and you'll rub over big bumps / loaded with people.

and 19"x9.5 et20 the rubbing is AWFUL with more than one person in the car even after I shaved my rear fenders.

I'm going back to 10mm spacers now with the et33 rears (et23) tomorrow.

I used to run a 12mm spacer with Miro 111's (et21), then I moved to et20 rears but the rubbing is AWFUL with more than one person in the car even after I shaved my rear fenders.

I'm going back to 10mm spacers now with the et33 rears (et23) tomorrow.
Thanks! I was thinking of adding 10mm up front and 12mm rear(rolled).
Do you have pictures?

10 upfront will work if you're on a drop like H&R sport, any lower and 5mm is the most you'll be able to go.

I'd do the 10mm in the rear instead of the 12mm for no rubbing, not going to look much different.

Those tires will give you a little more clearance. Id say 12mm. 15 if you want to add some camber.

im not sure about falkens but Im about to mount a 9.5 et 33 with 265 hankook v12 in the rear and was wondering if you ever got spacers, and if you did what did you end up using? Idk if my tire is a little bigger (some run slightly different than others even if it says theyre the same size) or smaller. I'm dropped on H&R sport

If you haven't decided yet, my rears are slightly tucked (lowest drop on ST V1) on 19x9.5 et 27.5 (et 40 with 12.5 spacers) 235/35/19 fk452s. No rub and no roll.

I had very minor rubbing before adjusting the camber. If I could choose again, I'd have gone with 15mm - 17mm spacers (et 25-23). That would probably give the maximum unrolled offset with minimal rubbing (et 25 should not rub). I'm quite sure with 265/35/19 you'd get away with no rubbing or very minor rubbing w/ et 25.

As for the fronts (19x8.5), I find the look of et 35 tolerable. I could go with 5mm spacers but I don't want to risk having any vibrations.
