i actually prefer no spacers unless it's like a 3mm or 5mm to clear a caliper

10+ will compromise wheel bearings long term

Im going forged oem and wanted to push them out a little but not worth it. I can’t stand the look of 18s on this thing and love the oem setup.
Excellent choice. Looks good on the FL5 and on the Boost Blue. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Maybe spacers at that point. @UFO CTR is probably excellent source of info on that.

I wrestle with choosing between those two wheel sizes myself. I think 19 looks better. I'd like to drive the damn car first before a decide.

Would you swap tires over or get new tires more suited for duty up your way? If so.. would you go 35 on the profile?

I just decided to use the stock rims with high perf winter (oem size) tires and the forged with ps4s in the summer .

2-weeks to the day from spring install, so plenty of time for settlement.
So back at speed shop getting alignment, and mind-as well have the break-in oil changed. Went with Motul 810 - Eco Lite. Wanted Amsoil Signature, but they didn't carry, so Motul it is! :)
