    Yeah I dont wanna cut the rear's though. I should be OK doing a good job rolling them. I am not into cutting shit like that and if I do, I will just cut a little bit before the spot welds on to the wheelhouse and then roll up after I cut. The space between the edge and the spot welds is pretty small tho, probably like 5/32's or so.

    you should be fine rolling them if you don't drop over 2.5" in the rear... i have a higher offset but wider wheels (25.3mm=1") and running 235. 225 will fit for sure and 235 will put your tire about in the same place as mine becasue your lower offset and my wider rim pretty much cancel out (and i'm camber corrected as well which decreases fender clearance). overall your fitament should be fine.

    Nice. Glad you went with 18's. They look better. Like Reelax said, I wouldn't bother with any spacers, you will be fine. Back when I bought the Brembos (and then sold them. lol.) I did research about caliper clearance and spacers. I found many people with barely 1mm of clearance with no issues. Plus, smaller spacers are not hub centric and they can sometimes cause vibrations.

    Yeah I gotta see once I get them. I already have 3mm hubcentric spacers that I got from ebay.
