Spacer question on a xi - "sport"

hi guys,

just wanted to ask what or if spacers would be needed to get that aggressive look on a XI "sport"

I would have measured but i have yet to receive the new rims but see a couple of sets of spacers for sale locally that I could pick-up

Any insight / experience would be great!

The set-up i have coming is

Fronts - 235/35/19 - 19x8.5 ET35
Rears - 265/30/19 - 19x9.5 ET33

Thanks in advance!

Fitment should be great, you shouldn't need spacers at all unless you want to go really aggressive...you could go 10 mm spacer with fender roll

I'm on H&R Sport

Here's my car with 15mm spacers in the back. BTW, sport package on xdrive models doesn't lower the car. I have 8.5s all around. So you're 9.5s will stick out a bit more with 15mms.

if you want to an aggresive stance then yes you will need spacers. if not then no. It all depends what you want.

Yah, the xi sport is not dropped and also softer than a true sport model....correct?

Fdriller are you on stocks xi or on aftermarket springs/coil over?

Thanks
