Looks great......On the topic of spacers, I just spoke with the Forgeline folks about the track use/spacer question ironically. The rep. there claims just as Serge pointed out that Porsche used spacers on their street and race cars for years. He claims that as long as the spacer quality is good and you can get a good 4 or 5 turns on the lugs that there should be no problem, FWIW.

so is that 1.5" a single spacer? thats a heck of a lot bigger than the ones I got that danno recommended for the front. I think they are 21mm.
where is the cheapest place to get them used and are they the same on the front and the back?

You have to get studded spacers if you want to space it substantially unless you want to install longer studs (which wont be much cheaper and a ton more work).
Here's your best source. He'll work with you and custom build you a set of 4 spacers for your specific application. Very reputable guy from what I have heard.
BTW, I suggest you get the hubcentric spacers (which are 100 more than the listed ebay price).

Antonio, I have the exact same wheels and offset as you. I found a place in town here that sells spacers; I found 1.5 inch spacers in the rear to look great but I still had fender rub. I put 1 inchers on the back now, no rub. Have you noticed any rubbing during hard cornering?

I haven't noticed any rubbing at all. I can still get my finger in between the inside of the fender and tire sidewall.
Im very happy with the result, i really like the look of the sidewall almost flush with the fender/q-panel.
