I'm new here and trying to get spacers to clear KW vw coilovers. I called a reputable local shop and they were pretty sure I would need 10mm in the front to clear the coilovers. But I don't want it to look awkward by not having the rear with spacers as well.
So I don't know my offset cause I bought these rims from a friend and he doesn't know the specs. So all I have is pics. I am pretty sure these wheels are CSL style rims. The sizes are 19x8.5 front /tire 235/35 19 rear is 19x10 / 265/30 19.

I was thinking I would need a 15mm or 12mm in the rear. I don't what to rub if I have a load in the rear. I don't want to have to tuck but if you guys think I will have to I guess I will. All I am trying to do is clear the coilovers not try to be real aggressive on the stance( although it really looks cool). Thanks!

Also if anybody has any spacers they are looking to get rid of please let me know.

Sounds weird that you need spacers to clear the coilovers. My 20s clear the KW coilovers even without the 10mm spacers I'm running.
I suppose those pics are before install.

Based on the pictures, I'd to a 10-12mm front and a 10-15mm rear. Remember when you run spacers (depending on the spacer), you'll need to buy extended lugs. If you wanted to run a larger spacer, you'll need to get your fenders rolled. Let us know how it goes!

Well this is good to know that you didn't need spacers. I really don't what to get them if I don't have to. I guess I should take a pic of the clearance of the wheel from the stock suspension to see how much room is there now. I got the idea that I needed spacers from the person who sold me the coil's. He said he need spacers.

Do you have v1's?

Does anybody have pics of the clearance of the wheels with or with out spacers with kw v1's installed on a e90 sedan and same size wheels?

Okay, so you haven't tried the wheels on with the coils yet?

I've got KW V2, should have the same fitment.

No because I didn't want to run in to the problem of not being able to fit the wheels after installation of the coilovers. I am trying to get everything set before I do the install. Don't want to be stuck with a undrivable car you know.
