yes vlad, 10mm front & rear. well, im gonna be lowered on megan coilovers (when i pay chris for them) and im using all 19x8's as i said with a 235/35/19 all the way around

240/40 doesnt exist. Personally I would change the sizing of your tires. If u use the tire sizing calcon most site like 1010tire u will see a huge difference. Stock tire size on the17s on the gs is 235/45/17 on an 8" wheel. If you are looking for a less bulky sidewall I would even go to a 225 width. If it were up to me I would choose 225/35/19 or 235/35/19 and call it a day. As far as spacing them out 10mm I think that it should be fine, as a precaution I would trim the rear and just slightly roll up the li of the front of the front fender. But I dont think that it will be necessary specially if u go with 225s.

Without hubrings you will have shake. At least I did.

oops im sorry vlad i meant 245/40/19 as thebean had also said.i dont have the 17's i have the OEM 16's. all the tires i have been pricing and looking at have been 235/35/19. i have NO intentions of doing any fender mods vlad so thats why i was asking about the 10mm spacers and my tire combo. if i go with the 235/35/19 would i have any issues? i think this is what im set on but its not 100%

Here are some numbers for your to crunch

225/55/16
Overall Diameter: 25.74 in

235/45/17
Overall Diameter: 25.32 in

225/35/19
Overall Diameter: 25.20 in

235/35/19
Overall Diameter: 25.47 in

245/40/19
Overall Diameter: 26.71 in

The closest in size to either stock tire would be the 235/35/19, however if you want to do no fender work and run a spacer I would choose the most narrow tires that you can utilize which would be a 225/35. Since my fenders havent been stock in years and I dont remember exactly what they can take, I know roughly. The proper way to decide what spacers if any you should go with you should put the 235/35/19 on and than make the proper measurements at you height and alignment specs.

I have the 8's up front with a 5mm spacer and the 8.5s out back with a 10mm spacer and no rubbing at all. 235/35/19 up front and 245/35/19 out back. -2 of camber all the way around.

i guess i will try a 10mm on the rear with my setup and see how i like it....i will probably get another opinion when i get them mounted.

whats the best brand on spacers btw?

With anything under 15mm you replace the studs. If I was using 10mm spacers I would go with H&R. Ichibia is another choice and they work with no problems, I am using the 15mms up front. But that is only because H&R doesnt make a 15mm spacer that has studs in the spacer.
