i have seen some pics on here and the front wheels seem to fill the arches alot more than my standard 17" fr wheels do, they seem to come out and almost touch the bodywork like the rear wheels do.

can spacers be used on the front the same as they are on the rear? or do you need wider wheels to get those front arches filled a bit more? if so how wide can you safely go?

i should add my car is lowered on coilovers and has 20mm spacers on the rear i would just like the front to look as good as the rear.

Pre-Facelift FR alloys were 16's but after the facelift they got 17's.

Post facelift they are 17".

I'm no fan of pushing the fronts out as the steering geometry is designed to work with a limited range of offsets. Pushing the front wheels further out will upset the scrub radius and make the car harder to control in the event of a puncture.
