you mean get some custom ones from Vsport dont you

they catch because the front spring seat sits at the same point as the tyre so the new kits have longer springs to stop this happening. on et49 16" I have had to use 5mm spacers twice which caused the outside of the wheel to rub the arch slightly. so couldnt go much lower than 50mm on the front without cutting out the arch liners.

should do, depends on tyrewall shape, some need 3mm some need 5mm. toyos are a good design for cars with clearance issues but not the best as a tyre

if that makes sense

3 mm worked on mine, couldn't say on yours, all shells are slightly different, and may have a diff tolerance...

fit them, and see how close they are then decide
