Spacers???

I finally got my Axis PHIN wheels but I'm still waiting for the spacers to be made from CA. I just found out that the offset for the Axis PHIN wheels is 35. And my stock wheels are et30 F, et34 R. The guy told me I need 8mm spacers for the front. Is that right??? I don't quite understand these offset thing. Do offet for the stock wheels and Axis wheels have to match??? Thanks in advance~!!!!

FrankW,

I decided not to go with black ones. The grey color is actually unique but I have to see them installed first..

yes, it cause a little understeer, but it's more than enough for everyday driving. I would've stay with the 18 if i wanted sharper steering response. Overall it's not too bad since I've the RENNtech springs on the car.
