the spacers will fit with any wheels, but you need to make sure you don't foul the arches, so maybe 15mm if you're on 20's. You may get away with 20mm.

You can go 25mm on rears, but it is close. Some have done this on here. 20mm is the norm on rears, although I have gone for a moderate 15mm.

10-15mm on the front.

Personally I would get the spacers to look right for the 20's and there will still be an improvement in looks for the 18's. Unless the offset of the wheel is the same (which isn't usually the case) then the same spacers will not give the same effect on both sets of wheels

What looks right is a matter for debate :D

On my FE 20s, i have 10mm front, and 15mm on the rear... To me this looks OEM.

Some will disagree though, and opt for 20mm rear and 15mm front.

Ok sounds good, i'll meet you at 7 to take the car away make sure it has a full tank, and you might want to order some new tyres.
I'll bring the loner so you're mobile for the wk-end. But I've already lent the Land8 out, so will the Lamborghini be ok?

Parking it can be a nightmare sometimes as it doesn't have parking sensors and it is a little awkward to get in and out of.

And she would pull your S backwards with all 4 wheels spinning like it wasn't even there.
