What size spacer to get poked out a little?

Im running 19x10 in the rear with Falken 452 275/30/19 with an offset of 38. Would a 5mm spacer be enough to get flush/poked a bit?

thanks

if you have a sedan, you'll be right on the edge of rubbing unless you're rolled with a 5mm spacer

10mm with rolled fenders should do it

5mm should be fine if you don't want to roll the fenders. A set of 19x10.5 ET40 will sit perfect on the coupe so a 19x10 with ET38 would have about 6-8 mm difference. That and since you're running the 452 (which is a pretty rounded tire), you might be able to get away with 10. If you just want them to stick out a little 5mm would be the safest way to go.

thanks for the response guys...i think i may just go with 10mm but i dont have anyone to roll fenders around here....how bad would the rubbing be?? I dont rub on the rears right now unless i hit a serious dip or bump.
