Need help with wheel spacers...
Hi. I'm hoping I can get some help here with wheel spacers. I've done some searching but nothing comes really close to my problems.
So here's my problem...I bought some Work Vs-xx. They are 18x8.5 Fronts & 18x9.5 Rears. The offset are +32 on all 4. Now I had to use some cheap spacers from pep boys to make the front work with the brembo's. I believe they're like 6mm thick. That left me with very few thread for my lug nuts! I'm planning on putting the stock wheels back on for now until I can find the right size spacers for them.
Now my question is...
What would you guys recommend? 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm? I only have one picture from the meet I went to this past weekend to give you guys a idea of how it actually looks...

I've already rolled the fenders as to where they won't rub. The rear tires are 255/40/18 and the fronts are 225/40/18. I like how it looks already so I really don't want to go out any further. I was looking and want the spacer with pressed in studs. I think the thinnest ones they make is 15mm?? Correct me if I'm wrong...
I made it to the meet with the cheap spacers from pep boys. It barely clears the brembo's but it works for now. I'll probably put the stock ones back on until next year some time when I can find the correct spacers for the car.
The front I believe has almost 1cm before it hits the front fenders. What spacers should I get to make sure they won't actually hit the fenders? I've found some 25mm spacers for a great deal but I'm pretty sure it'll be way too aggressive. Would the 15mm be just right?
Btw: I do plan to go a little lower in the front. I think it'll look better. I want no gap in the front so that also will affect my decision for the right spacers.

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing one at my buddies shop. RD Development. Maybe next year when all this weather flows through...I want to do a TL meet since I really don't see too many modded TL's in Sac. Or maybe i'm just blind or something! haha
We'll see what works out next year.

sorry man I didn't mean they are for sale. I just said I have a set. The nuts that came with the spacers were all messed up, half stripped. And one was missing. I got it from a member here and he didn't wanna take responsibility for them so I was stuck with them. And it was hard finding just 1 nut or a set of nuts that didn't cost 40-50$ shipped to me to canada. They are just sitting there for now, and I wouldn't want to sell you something like that. Look at project kic spacers or something like that. you can find some for sure.
