Eibach Sport springs, Adjustable rear arms (I made them )

Doing the math (crayon and matchbook time!)

You'll need 20/25 mm spacers in front to make it like mine (23/18 mm effective offset).

You'll need 20/25 mm spacers in back to make it like mine. (23/18 mm effective offset).

You adjust/massage the spacer thicknesses, but I think they come in 5 mm increments.

Mount the tires-Measuring the wheels hanging in space really doesn't help. The suspension swings out a bit in extension.

What you have should work with correct spacing. My rears were tucked in a bit before lowering-now they're as close to flush as possible. Check my gallery.

Looking at your pics, your front wheels with a 25mm effective offset don't stick out past the fenders like mine are looking with an effective 23mm offset (43mm with 20mm spacer), and this is only a 2mm difference. The fact that I don't have tires and not sitting on the ground has got to be giving the false illusion....
