Curious as well. Put KW v3 on and my stock 17's (mostly rear) could use spacers until I get new shoes. Probably not worth it though, depends on cost.

spacers

I have 12mm on all wheels.
VMR710 on the 135, the offset was 45.

Needed to push the wheels by 12mm.
I could have use 15 or 18mm. But to be safe I went with 12mm.
From Burgertuning....at the time he was also giving a free wheel-pin.

If you are on stock 18'' wheels use 10mm front and 12mm rear.

On stock 19'' get 10mm front and 10mm rear.

None of these options will rub and they will be beneficial for both looks and handling.

Thanks, gents. So it sounds like 10 mm on the front only is the way to go. Would love to see pics of the setup if you've got them. I, too, am running 235/35/19 upfront (and 265/30/19 in the rear).
