Your rears are definatley in a better spot! And it appears as though the faces are the same, even though many have argued thet the offset changes the face!

I think the faces are all the same in the 18x9.5 size...I'm running 255/35/18 pirelli P zero nero....

doesnt your spacer in the front actually give you a +20 offset? Did you consider a staggered offset?

The benefit of the +30 all around and using the spacer is being able to rotate wheels/tires easier.

Also, like said earlier, ALL 18x9.5, regardless of offset (+20,+30,+38) all have concave face

Yea, I didnt wanna have to mess with spacers....its a daily driver and I felt safer just buying the +20's. On top of that, if I was going to the spacer route, I could have bought the rota torques and used a spacer to make them fit and saved a few bucks!

Evo-L said in another thread to roll the rear and your good.....so I bought +20's all around. The fender roller and Espelir GT springs were ordered and will be here friday. Then we will see if I have more fender issues!

how hard are those Espelir GT springs ? and how much will you drop in the front and rear ? And Camber is a must. Will give you more clearance and will make wheels look much much more aggressive.

I love your wheels, and I can't wait to see your car next monday. I hope everything works out for u ..

The Espelir GT's lower 45mm front and 25mm rear. They are a little stiffer than stock springs, not too bad as far as spring rates. I will have them on Saturday and will post pics......as long as its still driveable!!

the car will look good after its lowered.

you probably want to get some extended studs too (from looking at the pictures)...
