I have 20mm spacers and its 70mm down on the back (too low really but I still have a few shows to go to!!) and with 195's it just touches ever so slightly! so with 185 i would say 20mm will be fine

I noticed that. The rear wheels seem to more "in" than the fronts.

the mk3 shell is known for being made not 100% straight!! and this makes the wheels sit out further on one side like yours! some people do fit 1 slim spacer to make the wheels level...
