i got 15mm rear andf 5mm on front on 8j et35 and no stretch and tyres just catch arch liner when i hit a pot hole i think you would want 10mm on front and 20mm on rear and slam it  :grin: check rhyso's build thread he had anni wheels with spacers  :cool:

I'm running R32 wheels, which are same size as Anni ones, I've got 20mm rear spacer, 15mm fronts. Running 215/40/18 tyres, JOM coilovers all the way down on the rear with adjusters still in, fronts have a bit of thread left. Only ever get scrubbing on the rear with large bumps.

That pic is when I was running 225/40/18 tyres which caused no end of scrubbing, I can get a better pic tomorrow.

Anni's are Et38 :wink:

20mm at rear are fine, look for Rhyso's old thread. 10mm at front should be alright

Mines a anniversary its on 20mm H&R spacers on the rear and was on 10mm H&R fronts but I bought some 15mm for the fronts
its on 215s But Im thinling I can swop the 20s to the front and add the 15 and the 10 together making 25 for the rear.
Ive just found someone on E bay who dors the extended bolts for 25mm spacers

IMO that's a bad idea, I'd get some 25mm spacers rather than use a 10 & a 15 :undecided:
