Just looking for some sample shots on the B5. I would have to re-finish the wheels however I like the OEM fit and finish of the wheels.
Cheers,
Joel

Check my pic poster for a few shots. That is with 5mm up front and 8mm in rear.
The rears are not needed but I slapped them on just for aesthetics. I'm pretty sure you could get away with a 3mm only up front with ST-60 caliper.

Oem 18" Avus wheels w/ 225/40 tires @ 24.75 ride height
I ordered 3mm spacers from Zev@Avalon but he ended up screwing me by sending some bull**** 2mm spacers that he said were 3mm...They just barely cleared my calipers w/ my fairly new pads but i highly doubt they're going to clear once i have to replace them...that 1mm difference is probably going to be the difference of them clearing or not clearing the rotors
Don't know your ride height but if your low your going to have trouble running 5mm spacers upfront

I disagree. 235/40 S03s (they run wide) with the same ride height. I run 10mm spacers all around.
No rubbing. The 10mm spacers really make the wheels fit the well perfectly. It moves the offset from ET45 to ET35 just like it should be. I do have rolled fenders though.
I also ran 5mm all around with the same setup before rolling the fenders. No issues.
