Default Last Question before ordering spacers. Suggestions will be appreciated.TIA

I have SSR Competition Wheels 18x8 ET32.
What do you guys think about the following Spacers configurations???

1)10mm Front & 20mm Rear.

2)15mm Front & 20mm Rear.
Which of the two configurations do you guys recommend me?
Also what kind of Wheel bolts should I have to get(If I have) to work with the spacers???

Folks, your suggestions will be very appreciated. I'm a newby in this topic(spacers/wheels).

Actual picture of my car:

Default If you wanna be flush with the fender line 15/25 would be perfect.

Certainly 15 for the front. 20 at the rear would look just fine, but the 25mm one would be even more agressive and totally flush with your fender.

Default i would go with 10 and 20

you'll need 38mm front bolts and 48mm rear bolts. probably tapered ones. 25mm in the rear may make them stick out farther than flush. i run 15 and 25, they are flush but my offest is 35. do a search for the offset calculator site that someone posted recently.

That would be my setup. the SSR's have a +32 offset so it should be good.

Default Not as flush as you may think...

There's some more space available at your rear for the wheel to be pushed outside before reaching the fender line. I used to have the exact same setup with you and I can tell you, it's not "flush". Another 3mm further out would make it perfect (ET32).

Not sure how clear those photos are but I'm pretty flush to the fenders up front and have a few mm to be flush with the rear. You should be close with ET32. Link to my offset/spacer calculator is below.
