Right got the spacers fitted today and here are the results. Will have to raise the front a little though as the tyres are now rubbing the wheel arch every time I go over bumpy roads and this being London..........

LOL. Thanks guys. I don't know if it's just me but I can feel a "wobble" through the steering wheel now in the corners. Don't know if it's just because the wheels are a little further out that the steering has become more sensitive or not but I must admit, not feeling 100% confident to send it through a corner at higher speeds now........ What to do, what to do.........

That's why I removed my front ones and sold them on... Haha

They are actually very dangerous to have on your car! I am surprised you were not informed about the dangers of these spacers? I still don't know why it has not been band!

Et35 on the rear would work but I think on the front it will be far too much poke. My current set up is et36 on the rear. Even with my last set up on the front at et39 it was a bit too much for my liking.

I don't want to sound like a clever ass but if the rims don't fit your car and you need to make changes its a warning. Buyrims that are designed for it it will save you the problems to come. The wobble you experienced was your first warning, learn from it. BTW waneer bel jy my boet?
