We would still recommend the 5mm spacer to clear KW/Ohlins systems up front due to the over "bulkiness" of these kits over stock. The extra 2mm of clearance that you gain with the 19x9.5 ET33 over an ET35 is not sufficient enough to clear the suspension, in most cases.
Although this is also affected by tire size and compound, we would recommend a 5mm spacer just to ensure proper clearance without risk of rubbing on the coilover.
I hope this helps clear up this confusion!

Thanks for your response Max
Since 18x9.5 ET35 front setups are able to clear with 5 mm for KW/Ohlins/Bilstein... Would it make sense that a 3 mm spacer would be sufficient on a 19x9.5 ET33 setup bringing the effective offset to ET30?
If the 3 mm spacer would be sufficient it would eliminate the need to possibly get the TMS front hub extenders with the use of a 5 mm spacer?
