I have 19x8.5 rims with 245/35 tires and lowered on the eibach pro kit. I went to buy spacers and the guy at the shop didnt think it would be safe with even just 6mm spacers unless i got the fenders rolled. Has anyone done this or know if it would be safe or not?

first off, you can take a ruler and measure it urself.

if you want advice from us we need your offset and rim width, not your tire size.

You do not need to roll fenders with the Eibach springs. Unless you intend to offroad or destroy speedbumps at 30MPH, there is simply now way that the tire will come in contact with the inner fender lip.

If you run coilovers and want super flush fitment then rolling would be required, as the tire would tuck into that area where the inner lip was.

As for spacers... Why not? They come with longer and stronger studs so there is no weakening of any kind. I'm running 10mm spacers with 7.5 width +35 offset. So 7.5in with +20 effective offset. It's pretty flush. I'm using Ichiba spacers, I recommend them wholeheartedly.

It just depends on how much you want the wheel to "stick out." Get a ruler and measure it yourself, or do some trial fits just by placing some washers between the hub and the wheel. When it looks to your liking, take the washers off and measure the stack in mm. This will let you visualize how it will look.

Pretty much if you are on Eibach fenders does not need to be roll at all. I am coilovers with 18x8.5 +35 all around with 20mm rear spacer from project kics. and I had to roll my fender and will be getting stretch tires next time.

Basically my rear is +15mm and front are +35mm and I am pretty much flush.
