Default 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.

I know 5mm spacers will work. Others will have to comment on 7 & 10 mm. I believe you need to replace wheel studs with anything over 5 MM.

I went with 5mm front and 23mm in the rear (bolt on spacer).

D92 w/same offset.

It is THIS simple. If you go with spacers, 6 mm is as far as you would want to go, any more than that, you will need longer wheel studs.

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?

Your set up is really good, that looks nice.
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.

Thanks...no...I have new pads and rotors and was going to put the fronts on then. I went with what I did so I didn't have to press new longer studs. I don't think it will make much difference to be honest.
