I think you're gonna need them with those wheels...>>
Mine are 18 x 7.5 37ET offset. This pic is with 25mm Rear, 15mm front. 40ET will be in 3mm further. Nothing wrong with spacers BTW...

H&R's are the set-up....>>>
Go here for install shots of both the 15mm and the bolt-on 25mm style. These have been on my car 3.5 years with no issues. You'll need longer bolts for the 15mm style as they sandwich between the wheel and the hub. Make sure you get the right bolts for your wheels. There are 2 basic types...<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/ttschwing/spacer_install/15_and_25_mm_install/">Spacer pics</a></li></ul>

Re: Hmmm...
I thought you were talking about wheels without spacers, like the one that started this thread. You can do anything you want with spacers.
The offsets I suggested can be achieved with spacers, of course (final offsets). The first numbers indicate the offsets that will get you closer to the fender line, thus being the most agressive.

It will look funny with that offset without spacers - see pic

Look how far in they sit. I personally don't like it, but I had to put the spacers on the front to clear the calipers.

Here is the rear with 32mm offset factory wheels with the same 20mm on the back this time.
