Wondering what sized spacers I can squeeze in there. I ran 20 mm spacers in the rear on style 162 and the spacing was very nice. My Arc 8 sit back from the fender a bit. Looks like I could get a 10 mm on there, maybe.

Donutz,
We do recommend the 17x9 ET30 with 255/40-17 tires and no spacer as a direct fit.
If you already have the wheels and tires mounted on the car, the best bet would be to measure from the outside tire edge to the inner fender lip and subtract 2mm. This will let you know exactly the spacer size that is required for your setup.
There is not really a blanket spacer recommendation since every car is setup a bit different with respect to ride height, alignment, tire brand and compound.
How to measure for spacer size
I have included a link to a photo that shows the ideal way to measure for a the proper spacer size needed.
