Quick update. Installed the ECS 10mm spacer with no rubbing at all. So 25mm on the rears and 10mm upfront with no rubbing at all..

Only driven around 20 miles so far the ride is much better. Potholes on the roads around the house do not feel or sound as bad as my stock suspension. Feels like a brand new car to be honest. I can actual feel the struts/shock at work absorbing the bumps on the road. I don't feel the harshness as some people reported yet.

So I plan to purchase wheels (squared) 18 x 8 with 28 offset.

That being said, my existing setup on the rear with 34 offset and 25mm spacer works well.

Do you think I can use the same spacers for the new wheel setup?

Yeah them wheels look fantastic mate. According to the offset calculator the new rear wheel will be 6mm closer to the fender with the 25mm spacer. Do u think u have the room to move it out that much? It's hard to tell by the pics. It's possible it will be ok, but u know the score with this eh....lol Trial and error because it's getting close. If it rubs with the 25mm, u could roll ur rear arches if u are into that sort of thing for more clearance...or step down to a 23mm or even 20mm. The front would need a 5mm spacer to look the same as it is now....but that's a cheap fix for a 5mm one :-)

Thanks once again. I'll take a look at it when the car comes out of the shop
