I know they do not fit (rears hit the strut- fronts are fine). Is putting rear spacers OK and what width is best or should I not bother? Car is not lowered and used only as weekend toy. Thanks.
Your choice of wheels is a recipe for disaster ! At a minimum, you will have to run a 7mm spacer just to move the Techart wheel out enough to be in the same position as your stock set-up. However, you will lose approximately 12mm of clearance toward the strut. No matter how you choose to manipulate the off-set of those wheels with spacers, you are destine to have clearance problems either with the fender lip or strut. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for those wheels ?
