Default what size spacers for 18x8 ET 43 wheels on B7 Avant?

I also posted this question in the B7 forum.

All, I've done a search but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.

I have a B7 Avant non sline with Koni FSD and Eibach pro springs. My front fender to floor is 25.75" and my rear is 25.5". I plan on getting some 18x8 ET 43 wheels.

I would like to get spacers to make the car look more aggressive. Can anyone please tell me what size spacers they recommend that would look good (front/rear) but not allow rubbing when I occassionaly haul heavy cargo (i.e. 12 bags of mulch)?


Thank you

They put a load on the bearing that the car/wheel was not designed to handle
