pretty sure a 3mm spacer will do, also if you go with a 235 profile on the front you will get rubbing, a 225 profile reduces this greatly and looks much nicer. I will check the ET of my BBS tomorrow as they are 19 x 8.5 also.

Clicky on my sigg for pics im currently running these. Cant remember off the top of my head what spacers im using but will find out. I have 225's on mine at the moment and they seem fine. Not sure how they will be if your lowered as mine is still on standard suspension.

you do need a spacer as the spokes point inwards and will hit the brembo's. Im 99% positive im running a 10mm spacer on the front and a 15mm on back shall check when i get home tommorow.

interesting, must be a design thing so as 3mm spacers do my BBS ch 19x8.5 et30. But surely with an 8.5j wheel and 10mm spacers your wheel will sit outside the arch?

i was very close to going for these but wasnt a fan of the flatness.

Now ive seen pics with them on the car they look good. Very Aggressive.

will check and take some pics when i get home today. As said its the design of the fan. If you think bbs ch's curve out where as the lambo's the fans curve back in.

im sure i was informed it had to be atleast if not more than an 8mm spacer the red cupra i think may have been running 8mm spacer which he said was really close. I get home tommorow and will take pics showing distance and spacer's.
