What offset are they? and what size spacers do you need for them to sit correctly in the arches?

Offset is 35, spacers have the same issue with both sets of wheels, which are 205/40/17

Spacers being brought at the end of the month so they will sit out into the arch.

So what size spacers are you getting? 25mm or thereabouts?

What type of spacers are you getting Jay? Proper ones that fit securely on the hub, and allow the wheel to fit onto it properly too, or just a spacer?

If I were you, I would use the proper ones, they may cost around £100 but I would only use the other type for up to 5mm personally.

Yep can't wait to get a nice set of spacers, thinking about lowering the front 50mm as well.
