Whats your offset in the rear? You should start getting the fitment you want if you can get your rears to sit at a +9 offset.

Sent you a PM.... You'll need to take off one of your wheels to see what your ET (offset) is. Then we can go from there. But from the looks of it, it might be +35-38 offset just from eyeballing it lol if you have 18x8 wheels you can get away with +20 offset, but if you want to stay tucked I'd try +25 first because with +20 you'll be having to pull and roll the fenders quite a bit so it doesnt rub.

You will need to know the offsets of the wheels first, you can usually find them on the inside of the wheel in terms of "ET". If not google search your wheels for the information. After that, determining what size spacer should be really easy. You just subtract the spacer thickness from the Offset of the wheel and that should give you your new offset. Lets say you have an offset of +34 and you put a 25mm spacer in, your new offset will be +9. So to sum it up. . . the smaller the offset the more the face of the wheel will be pushed out towards the fender. From what phi said, you may want to either try a 10-15mm spacer.

I still have them but ive actually decided to go a different direction. So I'm actually putting the pair of 25mm spacers and Work VS-XX's up for sale.
