H&R & Eibach are some good brands for wheel spacers.

I'm pretty sure you can go as wide as 245, possible 255 on the stock 18x8 rims.

I got 305's on my 10.5" wide GT30's with KWv3's and SPC rear camber kit. Had to (slightly) trim the inner felt linner like a 1/4 inch. No rub. Love it.

Go for the 255's all around on your 18's and just do spacers on the rear to give it the appearance of being staggered.

I would go with either keep the stock tire width or 235 and go with 15 mm spacers all around for that "rim fender flush" look. if you maximize your tires and add spacers, you might have a rubbing problem due to the fact then you tires will bubble out farther than your rims.

I picked up the 20 mm spacers I'm running on my G off eBay for $75 / pair. It looks like they have now raised their price to $88 / pair, but that's till a prety good deal considering they are the bolt on type, so there's you don't have to change out studs, and they are also hubcentric.

Do the spacers require any special tools to install? Or do you just bolt them on?

Did you get any wheel vibrations or alignment issues since you installed the spacers?
