    Haha.. I had 24mm spacers on the front... I am in the process of reversing the centres on the BBS LM's which changes the off-set by 16mm so I will be back down to 9mm (custom) spacers to clear the Brembos.

    Realistically if you are going that sort of size on spacers you need to look at the ones that bolt onto the disc / hub and have studs... much less load on the wheel bolts.

    OK so im running 19x8.5 et35 and 245 tyres.

    I want to max out the width - anyone want to cross verify 5mm be fine?

    I think i need my rear re-aligned too - my driver side sticks out 5mm, passenger side inset 5mm ....

    I wouldnt bother with 5mm spacers...you really cant get hub centric spacers for 5mm and you run the risk of vibration at speed if the rims are not properly centred... dont expect the wheel nuts to centre the rim...

    As for the rear... Umm I would have it looked at because there is no way it should be like that...
