Spacers for D90 and Cup I
I'm currently running Mile Miglia Cup I reps.
Fronts 7.5x17 ET 52mm offset - 215/45/17
Rear 9x17 ET 47mm offset - 255/40/17
For a temporary change of look, i'll be switching back to the D90's with the OEM wheel/tyre set up:
Front: 16x6 ET 52 - 205/55/16
Rear: 16x8 ET 52 - 225/60/16
Car is lowered to RS height.
What I want is a front and rear spacer that would compliment/enhance both wheel sets.
I know it is not ideal to run the same spacer as the wheels specs are vastly different but I've always felt the Cup Is could do with a little more 'pushing out' and I know the D90's will certainly need it once they are back from being refurbished and mounted.
I guess the answer to this will be, what is the biggest spacer I can run on the Cups without rubbing. Whatever will fit on the Cup's should have no problem fitting on the D90's as well given they are a much narrower wheels with the same and higher offsets.
The D90's wont be as flush as the Cups but any visual gain over stock would be a bonus I think.
Is my logic correct?
What is the best spacer to run (wth longer lugs if necessary), for the above Mili Cup I reps that do not invoke rubbing?
Would a 10mm rear and a 7mm front work?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I'm happy to go for a spacer which needs longer studs, may as well do it once and do it properly.
With the use of longer wheels studs, what is the biggest front and rear spacer I could go for the Mili Miglia cup 1s?

Do you have a photo of the front with the 5mm spacer?
The back with the 23mm is perfect, if I don't end up running a spacer for the Cup 1s, then this looks to be the right size for a D90 only set up.
