The offset is 25 on front and back.
The rear does poke a bit and I used the sidewall to contour the line back into the body. This pic kind of exaggerates the poke. It's probably a 1/4 inch past the fender line.
I had to hammer the inner lip of the rear fenders a bit for clearance. I raised the rear up a 1/4 inch and preloaded the spring by 1/4 inch as well to help with compression rubbing.
If 30mm offset was available it would have looked a lot better.
The front needs probably another 10-15mm of spacing to get a nice flush fit.
I spent a few nights trying to figure out sidewall and tread ratios. I wanted to be as close to stock tire diameter to keep the speedo right. I also wanted to keep some decent sidewall in for bump absorption and wheel protection.
I could have gone with a 35 sidewall or smaller widths to help stretch under the fenders but this would have lead to lowering the car as well. That would make the car undrivable.
This is my daily now

^^ Ha, I doubt I'll ever go as aggressive as your G, but some definite similarities! Projectors, coils, boost, etc etc...right, not much else happening this year, Blain.
