Default M-sport and Spacer questions

Does anyone with 18 inch ADR M-Sport owners have spacer installed? if so how thick are your spacer. for others that may know more about spacers and don't know to much about the wheels they are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 both with 35mm offset. i want them to stick out a little futher and would like to know how thick of spacer will i be able to fit. i was thinking of a getting a half inch will i need to roll the fenders? any help would be useful

i say put a 20mm up front, that would make your offset approx +15, and for the rear i would 15mm as well so you can get that +20 flushness at the rear... i'm guessing your car is going to be dropped as well?

I've got the exact setup you're talking about and my spacing is pretty much perfect, as close to flush with the fender as I can tell. And I don't have spacers. However I don't think I'd fit a big brake kit of any kind. I can post pics if you want.

sure post some pic not sure how your wheel come out flush with the fenders without spacers as they only have a 35mm offset.

here ya go...sorry but I don't have any good pics of the rim to fender fitting...but I did notice that the fronts could use a very minimal spacer if you wanted to (I don't feel its worth it), but the rear is perfect (or maybe my tire size has something to do with it)...either way good luck.
