Here you are man - wheels are 18x9.5" +20mm offset all around. Dropped with mk4 supra kyb struts, and mk4 supra sprint springs.
I could honestly even use a 5mm spacer all around to poke just a tad. However, as it sits, rear is poked just a tad, and fronts are almost perfectly flush.
Also, just FYI, be prepared to roll your fenders a decent amount. Just take your time and do it slow. Some paint is bound to crack/chip along the edge due to age, etc. But it'll sit oh so pretty.

Much appreciated toobs but no need to go through the hassle. I'll take your word for it.
I know you know this stuff like you know Orcinus orca, and Mermads.
LOL!
From the look currently, 25mm should look ok right? Even the guys selling them advised against super thick ones.
Thanks

Ha! Must have been an awesome experience! Did you stay close to that field? Marine Bio etc?
--------------------------------
I got 4, 38mm spacers. They are on the way. We will see how it goes.
I probably should have gotten "staggered" sizes but didn't. I hope the fronts don't poke more then the back. They are an inch smaller (8.5) so I guess there is no way.

Will i need camber? Drop coming next week.
I'm hoping the 38mm are not too big. They look funny and HIGHER (i'm at stock height) than before.
yuck (for now). I am going to have to take the spacers off just to make it to the Roll/pull in Queens tomorrow. The fronts and rears are rubbing like crazy.
Will a roll and pull do here, or do I need camber as well?
Tire damage is from 1 mile driving in NYC today after spacers.
