FRONT: 8" ET50

Will the front be ok, and need 35mm spacers in the rear, if I calculated it right.
Are 10" too wide for the rear?


Pic of the type of wheel, not the exact one
For starters, I would bring the rears down to around +45 (+30 is way too aggressive), and the fronts to around +40 .

That's correct . If you wanted a more aggressive look, you could even go +40 on the rear and +35 up front .

Would you mind sharing where you got them from? I'm interested.
Also, any idea on weight?
