They sound pretty flush to me. I don't think you'll need spacers. +38 sounds about right. Not too aggresive and certainly not conservative. Just fit them without spacers and see how you like them.

what do you mean the secks? as in they stick out a lil bit or what?

well i bought the wheels off this guyhttp://www.vadriven.com/forums...68459 and he said he was running 23mm of spacing, what woud happen if i ran 25mm ? 20mm? if i run 25mm would that just mean i gotta roll my fenders out more?

p.s. i noticed it said 23mm in the rear.......what about the front?

I agree.

That would make the wheels effectively 18x9" +18ish... which doesn't look that bad on stock fenders and a 235/35-40 width tire profile.

You're gonna want to run at least 25mm of spacing to make sure you clear the coilovers in the front.

Seems like your wanting an aggressive stance? Do the 25mm then roll your **** accordingly?
