I dont have any experience with spacers on this car but given the specs you listed for these wheels I'm guessing you would probably need like a 15mm to sit anywhere near flush. I'm sure there are others that have experience and could chime in though.

^^ Awesome andre....only problem is that place is like 3 hours from me. If we could meet half way I'm all for it. So I think its +40 offsets all the way around, (I think I listed +45). Sooo....15+ rear and 5+ front still?

You will need 25mm or 1" spacers in the rear to be flush.

Definitely will not rub, I had 25mm spacers on my old 18x8 +40m and it wasn't rubbing, 18x8 +45m will be very safe.

Anything more than 10mm on the front you will need to heat gun stuff so it wont rub on large turns. Personally I believe in going as aggressive as possible without messing with the body work, so 10mm would be my personal suggestion.

Thank you sir. 25mm in the rear it shall be. Any certain spacers you reccomend? I know there is quality differences. Since I have "aftermarket" wheels I can't get the V2 ichibas. Is there a top quality out there where I don't have to worry bout my wheels fallin off everyday I drive?

Are you on any springs? Looks very clean. I am trying to mod the say way, do small subtle things to make it different but keep it still mostly oem and stock.
