Has anyone mounted a 8,5" wide wheel at the rear, with ET32-35 and 25mm spacer?

Default that's not gonna work ...

in the rear, 7.5ET7 will leave you flush with the fender liner. 8.5ET35 - 25 = 8.5ET10 = 7.5ET-2 ... so you'd stick out by about 10mm.

I think it's not like that. I have 8" wide in the rear with 25mm spacer (ET 35), which is like 8"-ET10 which equals to 7,5"-ET4, and I don't even have any rubbing. Maybe 8,5" would not work, but the limits are greater than what you believe.

Rai has 18x9,5 at the rear. ET is 44 and the adapter is 25mm thick. So, it is like 9,5"-ET19 --> 7,5"-ET -3, and he's got only some minor rubbing problems.

that's because 9.5ET30 is the same as 7.5ET5

Default Got any pics?

Not as tight as I would like. ET20 for your rim would be the best for me.

Doesn't look wrong to me. Looks phat though. And this is flush with the fender lip. This is the limit IMO.

Default how do you keep from scrapping the bottom of spoiler

or are you resigned to the fact it's gonna happen and as long as you can't see it doesn't bother you? It looks nice though!
