With the 65 offset, the rears will require a 15mm spacer to clear.

Cheers,

You'll be tight with a 15mm spacer. I have 18 X 10 et47 on the rear of my car and the inside clearance is very tight. You'll also need to tie back the e-brake cable because it will rub otherwise.

Thanks ... I'll pass on these as too much tinkering required.
