Thanks. I'm going to buy a few cheap 5mm spacers from a local autoparts store and see how it works out. I will just be using them to find the correct amount of offset. Then I'll order the hub centric 66.6 spacers.

So, 20mm on the front will move it out to a 30ET and clear the bolt. That's good to hear and is pretty much what Steve said.

As for the rear, you've got me a little confused. if you're rubbing on the inside, wouldn't you want less offset (lower number)? You're rubbing at 25, so wouldn't 28 move the wheel 3mm more toward the carrier? Maybe I should move that wheel out to a 20ET (add a 20mm spacer)?

This stuff is confusing me.
