After all the reasearch I have done with stud conversion and hub extenders when I measured again and again I only had 3mm of space between the rim and the coil after the 12mm spacer was on, and I needed 4mm to get the rim tucked in a little more to lower the car more DOH!!!. And yes M5 setup would be right around 2300 if I installed myself thats painted too fyi

to clear up KW, I heard you have to go all the way to et -2, yes, negative two, even with 255 tires on 20 inch wheels. For 19, the offset can be a lil greater but I guess only about +2, and I'm talking with 255.
I don't know the real life application, that's just through my research and convos with many members here...

whoa 265??? thats too wide... with 255 im already pushing it but I want wheel protection... I think 245 with rolled fender will be perfect and like gizzler said camber it a little bit.

OE Tuning... since you have 245 I say try the 12mm spacer... if it doesnt work since u got KW3 dial it to -2 to avoid rubbing on turns .. keep us posted GL!! 
also can u take pic of the fronts with 245, I wanna get an idea of how stretch they look at 245. thanks.

Yupe...im gonna order 12mm spacer to test. I'm out of town now so i'll post close up of the front wheel by monday. The stretch depends on tire brand also, and may vary to a large margin.

my tire isnt the issue. A 19x8.5 rim might need a 5mm spacer to run them so based on that ...you take a 9 inch rim its already 4mm difference per the offset calculator so you'll need a 10mm spacer but theyre not hubcentric so you run a 12mm. Sheldon 20's are even more complicated cause you added a inch of height to the equation

Also a et 22 on a 9inch rim your already 8mm difference so a 12mm mill spacer will put you 4mm clearance but pushes your rim 16mm from where it currently sits. Only the M cars can fix this issue due to their flared fender.
