Default Not another wheel spacer question

My new wheels are due this week and I am seriously thinking I need spacers.

The wheels are 18" x 7.5 ET 35

According to the wheel off-set calculator I should run either

front 15mm spacer = 10.7 mm inside fender
rear 20mm spacer = 11.7 mm inside fender

or

front 20mm spacer = 5.7 mm inside fender
rear 25mm spacer = 6.7 mm inside fender

What size would you guys recommend? Closer to the fender would probably look better, but will that change handling? Also, what manufacture of spacer should I be looking for? Where might I find the best price on spacers? Any other considerations?

Thanks in advance

Default My set-up is pretty similar..>>

18x7.5, 37ET. I'm running 15mm front, 25mm rear. You would be 2mm further out than this:

Default Thanks! Looks SWEEEEET!

Love your car! Are H&amp;R spacers better that the Eibachs? And is your car lowered using the 1in Eibach sport springs?

BTW: VTDA is on the list --my wallet only wants to handle one thing at a time though! But start gettin one of those black VTDAs ready! I think it will be my Christmas present.

That's with Eibach springs, H&amp;R spacers. No experience with the EB ones.....Lemme know when you're ready!
