spacers ?
currently running 8mm (f) and 12mm (r) with my S-Line 18s.
putting on my new OZ Ultraleggeras 19x8 et35 soon. ultimately, i'd like to push the tires/wheels out as close to the edge without rubbing.
from what i can gather, because these are 8" width, the 8mm might work up front, but not sure about the 12mm for the rear.
any thoughts? thx.

I have 19x8 Superleggeras, and 8mm is way too agressive up front IMO
Maybe in the the back, MAYBE.
Here's mine without any spacers.

Holy cow, what's the offset on the wheels? Tire width?

ET35, 255s
I wanted some protection 
Even if I had 235s, I wouldn't want anything more than maybe a 5mm spacer up front, any more and it would be sticking out. The 12mm in the back might work though.
