If your goal is to achieve both fitment and appearance, then you'll need to lower the fronts and rears by about 15mm's.

Fronts : 8 to 8.5 inches wide with offsets ranging from +35 to +45 depending on how aggressive you want to go.

Rears: 9 to 10 inches wide with offsets ranging from +35 to +45 depending on how aggressive you want to go .

Thanks, gents.

Reading thru some previous posts, it seems a 15/20 spacer setup would give a flush look.

Not a big fan of spacers probably because I don't know much about their impact. But if JD uses them, it should be okay.

Now, to find out about the quality of the wheels being offered...

There's nothing wrong with the use of spacers is this application, provided they are guaranteed to be hubcentric.
