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

My set-up is pretty similar..>>
18x7.5, 37ET. I'm running 15mm front, 25mm rear. You would be 2mm further out than this:

Thanks! Looks SWEEEEET!
Love your car! Are H&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.
