Default Wheel Fitment Question

Just bit the bullet and bought a new set of Champion RS98's. Sizes are 19x8.5 front and 11.5x19 rear. Offsets are 53 and 62 respectively. My question is.... I currently have OEM 5mm spacers on the car and I'm not sure if I should keep'em on or fit the new Champions with out the spacers. I like the look of the wheels being flush with the fenders but don't want them to stick out too far both visually and functionally. Also, are you guys w/ CM wheels using the OEM wheel bolts or going custom/chrome? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks-

With your new sizes and offsets the fronts will now extend 10mm more than stock and the rears 11mm more than stock so I'd say no need for spacers...your spacers would just make them extend 5mm more than what I just said...plus without spacers you can use stock length lug bolts. Go to www.1010tire.com and you can use their wheel offset calculator.
