reading into it you mean lowering rather than offset?

you won't have a problem - its the front that runs into trouble as you go lower

Get them fitted and stop fretting  :smiley:

That's where spacers come into play.

dont have to have spacers on the back if I dont want to? Just lower it 40mm and end of story?

Spacers gives it the wide boy look? Any pics with spacers on and 40mm?

Also having car 35mm front and 40mm back will it look odd? (most important question)
