Wrong size tyres, 225/40/18's is the correct size to keep the gearing and speedo correct.

Spacers depends on offset but 10mm on the rear should be fine.

Thanks for the advice.. :smiley: so 225 40 18 are the best way to go then? I wanted to go for the stretch look.... But if I'm going to have problems then I will leave it.
