Hi, i am currently on this set up:

Front: 19 x 8.5, offset 18 with 245/35/19

Rear: 19 x 9.5, offset 18 with 275/30/19

I am lowered on coilover with less than 1 finger spacing.However i find my rims are sort of still hiding inside the fender, probably due to my lowering so my i know if i can add say 5-10mm spacer in front and back to push the rim out a bit more without rubbing? I have no rubbing issue with full load currently. Thanks.

You can easily do 5mm. I haven't tried 10mm but I think you'll be good.

I agree...A 5mm should be just fine without rubbing but if you go up to 10mm you might get rubbing issues and will have to roll fenders. Try 5 mm first and see how well they handle with afull carload...if you want to go more aggressive then you can always upgrade to 10mm down the line.

5mm spacer without hub ring may create another issue "steering wheel vibration" while over 80km.
