I think spacers are a great idea, especially on the BBS RX11's :) As the rear ones do hide in the arches a bit!! I reckon the rears could do with coming out say 20mm, so they fill out the arches a bit more. I know it sounds silly, but couldnt you get a ruler and measure the exact distance you want the wheel to come out to get an idea ?
