get a new widebody wheel. spacers are such a popular mod and youre half way there with the widebody wheels. plus you never have to worry about not being able to get your car serviced with the spacers.

IDK if this is appropriate but I agree with this...and...I also have 15mm spacers + bolts for sale, so you could feasibly do both in the sense that, get some 15mm spacers, run 1 until you get another NB wheel and then run the other one when you get the second NB wheel. The Turbo offsets don's actually fit right but the rule of thumb for rear NB wheels is 15mm spacer. I ran 15mm up front too BTW, just FYI. HMU if you want some barely used spacers but also, I recommend RSS regardless.

EDIT: I run 305s rear, so I am assuming if 295s are what you have, the extra offset might not matter. Also, it is all opinion, and I agree that a proper fitting wheel is better but I just think WB offsets I have seen on NB cars always looks wrong, CHANGE MY MIND!! haha.

An oem wb rear wheel on 305s is fine on a NB... it does look aggressive and flush.... but doesn’t visually look as though the wheels are Sticking out beyond the fender. An oem wb wheel in the back of a nb is only 1mm more then running a nb wheel with a 15mm spacer.

As for the fronts - the OP can’t run 15mm spacers on the front - the .1 turbo front wheels, like the .1 sport wheels or even a genuine .1 turbo II wheel (not the ones issues on the Carreras) are 8.5 inch +55 or +56. His front wheels would be 7mm beyond the fender if he were to run the +15mm spacer
