Thank you for the response, so basically 17x7 +15 offset. by any chance do you know aprox how much room you have on the inner fender towards the shock tower?

17x7 40mm offset, NO SPACERS, ST springs, Tokiyo illumina shocks
205-40-17 front, 235-45-17 rear, no rubbing!

the front is tight (3/16") against the spring perch but it doesn't rub because the wheel and spring perch move together.

I haven't checked since the coilovers went in but I would say at least 10mm clearance. My mate has same wheels on his 7 with no spacers and the wheels sit a bit further in at both the front and back compared to mine

I too went with wheel spacer adapters. One reason was to get off the 4X110 bolt pattern. I am using a 4X100 pattern with a +40 offset, which most of your front wheel drive imports use. Alot more wheel options this way. The wheels are discontinued I believe.
