I am considering spacer for my oem 19 inch wheels. I have Mtech suspension.
Question: how much inch can i add in front and back before it rubs?

Would you say the handling of the car will increase? Decrease? or stay the same with spacers?

I was thinking of adding O,5 inch a side so maybe 1 inch for each ax.
Is the front and rear the same?

My car
2piece compound style 1O1 Bmw Oem wheels 19 inch
Michelin radial x ZR pilot sport tubeless tires 275/30 245/35
The OEM offsets are ET:32 on a 9,5" wheel for 19 i think

Shure you can bump them out a couple mm, but not shure howmuch before you start scraping

Remember to test it with a full load to see if it scrapes and get longer wheel bolts that fit with the spacers
