    I got my 8mm ones with BBS lugs from mag wheel centre in richmond.
    I also bought some 15mm wheel spacers from ebay, with lugs, for $160 shipped.

    Make sure you get hubcentric spacers, with extended lugs!

    And when you fit them, roll your wheel arches, especially at the front of the rear wheel arch, near where the bottom of the rear door is, they rub the most in that spot...

    For the rear, simply put a plate under the stub axle with longer bolts to come out as far as you like without attention from the plod.

    I was thinking 10 or 15mm, wider at the rear. Basically as wide as my car will allow. my problem is I'm already quite low with koni's and Eibach's and my tires are 215/40/17. Yes I may rub a bit and I don't really think its possible to roll my guards with the plastic flares on them...A smaller tire, even a 195 may be in order to solve the rubbing issue. I do want my rim flush with the guard though...even if its a hassle getting it there!

    Can I solve this?

    As george pointed out at the last bbq inside ur guard these a really small lip that juts out horizontally that u can roll up if u really need to. Its about 10mm and that should be easy to do.
