Help me stance this beeoch

Hey,
im currently running a stock suspension.

I purchased a set of esm004 lm reps.
they are staggered
19x8.5 35et front with a 245/35/19
19x9.5 25et rear with a 275/30/19

I want them to be flush with the fender.
I dont want to cut or roll my fender as of now.
I also am going to drop one day but not anytime soon considering i drive in NYC alot and the streets are brutal.

what sized spacers should i get?

if you are on stock fenders, i think you at the limit with no fender work or camber plates. with some work you can run 10mm spacers all around but it would look stupid in my opinion without a drop.

Dont buy spacers before you mount the wheels and measure out how it looks. It is difficult to determine how far u will be from the fender so my advice is get the wheels mounted and then measure it out and you can determine how flush you would like to be.

don't go crazy with spacers before a drop however. even lowering springs will make a world of difference

no drop...no stance....you wont know what size spacers you need till you drop the car.

how is the clearance under these cars? i know my old integra the oil pan and crossmember took most of the abuse. anything i should be aware of?

and the wheels are already mounted but i understand the logic in just waiting

As mentioned above, no drop=no stance.

But, in your situation here's what I would do.
1. Read up on wheel offsets... just search google.
2. fit new wheels onto car
3. drive around the block to let stock suspension settle
4. go to these site: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
http://www.turnermotorsport.com/t-wheel-spacers.aspx
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=512527
5. measure your gap accordingly and determine the size spacers you need
6. search the forum sponsors and buy appropriate sized spacers w/new lug bolts(Turner, ECS, Macht Schnell, etc)
7. install new spacers with bolts
8. enjoy your new setup!

OG's am I missing anything?

It's pretty simple to see how much clearance you have under ther car.

Step 1 - go outside
Step 2 - look under front of car
