I originally got these wheels based on recommendations for a flusher spacer less free fitment but it never really was enough IMO. You can see the wheel is kinda to inward and seems shy.

I just lowered the car on coil overs so I'm curious is it still possible to run spacers without rubbing? I tried to measure but it really only fit one finger before it touches fender I think, it's difficult to measure\ and know for sure where it will contact.

Current rear specs in the rear are 19x10 +38 on 265/30/19 tires.

So does anyone run lowered + more spaced out and don't rub?

Are your rear fenders rolled or shaved?
Tire brand?

My fenders are stock I think. If I run spacers though I will need to roll them right? I'm just trying to find good fitment. Maybe instead I should raise the rear enough to be able to fit flush spacers while still looking good fender gap wise?

They are Lexani why?

Was just trying to get idea as different brands have different sidewalls. Some are more round'ish vs square'ish. Idk about lexani though.
I would think a 5mm spacer would be fine and anything more than that would definitely need fender work but that's just a guess as I really don't know your setup.

What's the measurement how your car sits now? Bottom of rim to middle of the fender?

I measured 32cm (12.59 inches) from middle of wheel to fender.

I actually just installed my spacers (12mm) for fun to see how it would look and surprisingly it doesn't touchthe fender and I did a small test drive and no rubbing overall except when the road tilts and you swerve from the left to right really quick.

I'm surprised... I guess it's because the coilovers are more stiff than what was in there.

I would raise the rear a tad (to match the front) and roll the fenders to prevent any rubbing. With the 12mm spacer, 19x10et26 will definitely have some rubbing with a passenger in the car at your current height.

Yeah, I think my suspension settled a bit yesterday and it was rubbing like crazy on every slight road dips, raised it a bit again and rubbing is gone.

I'll try this over the course of the week before setting my definitive height and doing my alignment.

Yeah, it typically takes me 4-5 weeks to adjust my coilovers to the stance I want. About to go through it again, ordering some KWs in the very near future.

Nice KW were also an option I was interested in but the Bilstein were less expensive and hard to beat IMO.

I just hope they don't seize to much going through winter. I might spray the threads with anti rust in addition to the already anti seize I applied there when installing.
