Tundra gave you some good info... I have coils n a 10wide up front, ET25 will not work.Im running ET15 with a 5mm spacer n I can clear the bottom portion of the perch to get exactly the height I need. However I would need a 8-10mm spacer to clear the perch completely to get lower. fortunately for me where Im sittin right now is pretty low and works for my setup.

Thanks for the clarification. Would a 19x9.5 et 20 clear the KW's up front?

Koni FSD's are nice. They are a good pairing with the stock sport springs and H&R sport springs too.
With that wheel you'll need a 15mm spacer and it will clear. The face of the wheel will end up sticking out 11 mm further compared to my setup which isn't bad. Just be sure to run a stretch tire fitment.
