Will I need spacers?
Can anyone confirm if I’ll need to run spacers for my setup? I have got mixed answers and hoping someone can confirm 100%.
Apex ARC-8’s- 19X9.5 et33 squared with ST-XA coilovers. Tires will be 245/35 & 265/35. Wheels & tires are in my garage, waiting on coilovers to arrive. Would really like to have everything needed for install with no surprises. Thanks all! |

I'm running 18x9.5 +33 front and +38 rear with ST XA coils and no issues. Although, it is relatively close to the strut. No rubbing. I'm running 255/40 all around.

Did you confirm 9.5" width can be run in the front? I don't know for sure, but I'm worried it might contact suspension components. :
245s will be fairly stretched on 9.5s

As far 245s being stretched, depends on the tire, but it also seems more about people perceptions. To me a 245 on a 9.5 is a mild stretch, especially on tires that tend to run a little wider, like the "performance" Hankooks, for example. It's a very common setup across all sorts of platforms. |

To the OP I don't think you will have to run spacers now with that being said if your uncomfortable with how close you new wheels are to the strut its up to you. The only reason I bring this up is that im on 19 x 9.5 +35 255/35/19 square stock m sport suspension, and im maxed at how close I can get to the inside of the front pictured here no spacers or camber btw hopefully this helps.
