I had some 18x8.5 with et30 and the rears stuck out of the arch by about 1" which is a lot. The fronts were fine but the rears just looked stupid.

If you want I have a picture somewhere of the rear wheel looking down at the arch. Can send it on a email if you want. Just let me know.

7.5 et20 on the front will not work.

I put my spacers on my front once just to see how it would look and at 7.5 et36 I was pretty flush, so add another 15mm.. unless you roll your arches and have pretty big stretch (which you can't find in a 7.5 rim really) it won't work.

don't want to start messing around with the arches, lookin for wheels similar to this, but cheaper than Rota equivilant.
