all depends on the offset of the wheel and width.
If they are ET35 8J you could probably have 20mm rear 10mm front. Although to play it safe I went for 5mm front 15mm rear keeping the tyres away from the arch by about 2-3mm

you need at least 5mm spacers on the front whatever happens then, same with most coilovers
