staggered set: stern st-2
19x8.5 offset +32 (front)
19x9.5 offset +35 (rear)

person from the shop told me that i might have to put spacers for the fronts...is he right???and if he is what size spacer do i need...

please get back at me a.s.a.p. with your response....thanks
Yes you are going to have to put spacers up front because the caliper hits the rim I had the same problem I with a 3mm spacer the shop carried. I have a enough space just to clear it. if you need to need pictures mail me

dont think you'll need spacers...but again, depends how low you go
which coilovers are you contemplating?

if you slam, you may need to stretch a bit...again, hard to tell w/out the drop

The front rim face disk type will determine if you will clear the caliper or not. On my daily driver rims I run an 18X8.0 +43 with a high disk and clear the caliper no problem since that is what high disk faces are made for. My rear is a 18X10 +48 and do not rub either. If your front rim has a low disk or medium disk you probably will need a spacer.

i'd go with 285/30/19. they fit more flush to a 9.5 width and don't stretched.
