Mike will be fabricating the spacers next week at our machine shop, still unsure what tires to install on theses wheels will post more pics once I get them mounted. Later,

WIth the OEM's people put a good 15-25mm on the rear. In your case, that would mean 2" +15-25mm ... DAMN I just looked at my ruler, 25mm is about one inch! That's gonna be a 50mm+15-25mm spacer ~ 65-75mm!

THat's a HUGE BITCH!
I like the sleeper idea though
you have to make up for the 2" extra of backspacing. It all depends how close the stock backspace is to the suspension.
You might only need a 25mm spacer to clear the suspension, and that would put u back at about the stock 30 offset.
The new offset is about +50, but thats not a real number as the face didnt move as all the width was added behind the hub. The backspace (distance from edge of wheel to hub is what it critical for fitment here.

They would fit with minimal spacers, there is no reason to do a 50mm spacer you would need only what the guys use to flush them which is what 25mm. Personally I would run the 25mm or 30mm and call it a day.
We plan to mount the rims with no tires to check clearance issues. We will then be making a trip to the powdercoater while waiting to save up for the tires. I'm hoping a 305 will clear everything nicely. I Plan on running this same set up on mine with the super skinny 17" front loaners.

The 1" clearance is with the spacer. See below.
