It totally depends on the width and the offset of your wheels.

Default I guess those are 18x8. You'll be fine w/ 15/25 spacers.

The 25mm spacer at the rear will get you flush with the fender line without any problems (used to have exactly the same setup).

Default Here's a pic of what it looks like ->

My old setup

It's not that clear, but you can see that it's almost flush, slightly before the fender line.

Default Great pic, thanks.

I think that's the look I'm going for.

Nice car!

Default you might want to see a few different angles ...

imho, it will stick out too far from certain angles, especially from the rear. <b>this is especially true if your car is not lowered significantly</b>

ttear and i have discussed (and disagreed) on this before.

Default Ok Mr devil's advocate -->

The pictures clearly show that the wheels don't stick out at all. This is what "flush" is btw. No question about rubbing or any other kind of issues either. And note that this is a FWD with a 8mm longer rear axle. This is how a quattro would look with 29mm spacers on both sides at the rear...

meem, you need to redefine some of the terms that you use, cause I think that you are a bit confused here... Since this is the look that iwearnosox seeks for, there's no need to argue it.
