The latest addition to my C43 is the installation of 10mm hubcentric rear spacers (and extended lug bolts) to compliment the 18" Monoblock's. The result's are excellent, way more flush, and comparable to the OEM front offset IMHO. The OEM rear offset of the 18" Mono's is et35, so -10mm effectively leaves them at 18x9 et25.

Looks great but I would be worried with some rubbing. Mine without spacers rubs a bit over bumps with 2 adults in the rear. What is the distance you have between the middle of the hub and lip of fender? My rear measurement is 35cm

Reason: Completed with measurement figure
Looks awesome! I was thinking the same thing. My rear wheels look like their tucking just a little bit though with the h&r sport springs. I’ve been going back and forth about going to the #3 or #4 spring spacer in the back.

I am not sure of the exact measurement. I did experience very mild rubbing on the inside lip of the rear bumper, so I had them professionally shaved to eliminate the problem. They shaved just a few mm's which visually you can't tell a difference. Now I have zero issues rubbing, even with a full car
