Wheel spacers for "19 rims recommendation?

You are going to have to provide wheels specs in addition to the tire specs you listed if you want some input.

Get a long piece of electrical tape and tape it to the outer side of your fender and tape a quarter or something heavy on the other end, and let it dangle (it shouldn't touch the ground though... just above). Measure from the edge of the tape to the outer most part of the tire or wheel (whatever protrudes out the most). This distance is how big of a spacer you want to get to be flush. Do this for one tire/wheel in the front and one in the rear.

If you are lowered, you might have to consider with your tire/wheel poking that much further outward, if you are going to rub the top of your tires to the bottom edge of the fender. If you are not lowered, then no worries.

Wheel spec is front 8.5 rear 9.5. Not sure on the off set, they are from VMR v703.

just an fyi, for what you asked, wheel specs and offsets are irrelevant here. i'm assuming you want to get to flush based on where your wheels are at now, so its just a matter of measuring the gap between the edge of your fenders and outer edge of your wheels.

If however you are wanting new wheels and need to know what new offsets to get and what will fit, then you'll need to know your current specs/offsets.

Good luck bro! ...and welcome to the madhouse

Well I wouldn't say that telling us the specs are irrelevant as the OP is asking for a quick answer. If he wants an answer from us rather than determine it himself as you pointed out (which will give the most appropriate answer) then more details such as his offsets are needed.

VMR V703 have a wide range of offsets for those wheels sizes ranging from ET20 to ET45 and likely you may not need spacers.

Do what squidlyboy says or find out what the ET is (should be stamped on the inner wheel rim) or worst case, take a picture to show what how much space you have left. Otherwise, you won't get the answer you are looking for.
