Default spacers ?

currently running 8mm (f) and 12mm (r) with my S-Line 18s.

putting on my new OZ Ultraleggeras 19x8 et35 soon. ultimately, i'd like to push the tires/wheels out as close to the edge without rubbing.

from what i can gather, because these are 8" width, the 8mm might work up front, but not sure about the 12mm for the rear.

any thoughts? thx.

Default I have 19x8 Superleggeras, and 8mm is way too agressive up front IMO

Maybe in the the back, MAYBE.

Here's mine without any spacers.

Default Holy cow, what's the offset on the wheels? Tire width?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/224/bbsre7.jpg"></center><p>When I had 18x8 BBS REs on my car with an ET of 35 they stuck out nowhere NEAR that far with a 235 tire on there. This is the best shot I could find, doesn't really make my point though.

Yes, tires too wide for 8", those must be 245's at least.

Default ET35, 255s

I wanted some protection

Even if I had 235s, I wouldn't want anything more than maybe a 5mm spacer up front, any more and it would be sticking out. The 12mm in the back might work though.

Do you have clear corner headlamps? It appears so on the pics. If so, where can I get my hands on some. Thx.
