Default double checking - spacer sizing

I have 17x8 5zigens (posted as 35 et)and Falken 512s on my 2001 TT Q roadster. I would like to bring the wheels out for a more flush look with the fenders. the calculater gave me numbers like 19 front and 22 back for spacers. Do you think 15 and 20mm would be enough for a good look?

Thanks

Default Yep, the offset calculator is very aggressive

A few mm's less isn't going to matter a whole lot and will add a little extra protection for your car and it's paint. If you look at a ruler, 3-4mm's isn't a whole heck of a lot.

Of course that doesn't mean someone on hear wouldn't notice and tell you to push them out a little further. ;-)

Do you like your Falkens? Do you get any shimmy, side to side with them?
