No spacers at all, you may want to look into body work before you even consider using these. That 11.5 et 0 is aggressive.

I run 11.5's in rear with roughly a 50 offset, meaning yours will stick 2 inches further out than where I'm at. You'll have to wait until people that have experience with stretching tires to chime in.

Wow, those are crazy offsets. I think you will need to pull the fenders or put on a wide body on the rear to get those to tuck. The rear will fit in the inside but they will stick about 1 3/4" past the stock fender.

i'll throw you a bone..

rears will need fenders rolled completely flat, and probably a real good pull. Plus considerable negative camber. Wheel rims should not touch the shocks or brake calipers, so you should not need spacers. But If you do add spacers for some reason, you will def need either 1. super aggressive pull, or 2. wide body.

either way...

honestly you should have done your homework on this BEFORE you bought the wheels. seems like you don't know what you're doing because most people who but those rear widths and offset already know how to make them fit.

GL with your wheel fitment, and i really hope you don't fawk it up. those wheels would look sick with the right execution.

Schema--thanks for the reply and CONSTRUCTIVE answer much appreciated. I have n0t found anyone running this offset of 0. and Im sure over fender and or fender pull will be in order

Scotturnott-- thanks for the response, much appreciated LIke I said was just asking becuase they are crazy.. lol..but will look mean.

MIGS-- As I am not a dog bro and wont fetch no bone, Im not knew to this at all I just havent fitting these on my car yet, but I can see yoru quick to try and put down, or belittle me quickly which is fine, dont bother me. I am well aware I might need to fender roll and or put wide fenders on, I will be running coil overs and negative camber for sure, I never said i didnt know what I was doing but each car is different and while I havent found anyone who runs this on their car, this is why I asked. And dont worry I wont fawk it up Im not a lil kid, as you seem to think with ur post, I have been fixing up cars for a while. Ill post pics when i mount them up.

Thanks for the info

I don't think what MIGS typed was to belittle you, his post was quite spot on gave you info and pointed out that a bit of searching would have answered your questions.

Yea man. I mean you did ask if you would need spacers in the rear which would make it seem like you don't know what you are doing. Regardless, good luck.

the rear you are going to need about a 1 inch pull to clear the rear fenders. Possibly also running a 265-30-18 tire in the rear with a lot of negative camber to get them to sit nice... the fronts should be fine with shaving the fenders or rolling it completely and running a stretched tire. it all depends how low you wanna go.

The front will be slightly sunk in while the rear will be poking out quite a bit. I would definitely get at least a 15-20mm spacer if you are running stretched tires up front. If you don't use the spacers, you can probably get away without doing any fender work but it will look really weird in my opinion.

^ i agree. i would use a 20mm spacer with the front wheels to make them more even with the rear. vertex/origin fenders up front and pull in the rear.
