Wheel spacer virgin, so just after a couple of pointers and confirmation of measurements I can get away with. I was considering buying some new 19" rims and tyres, but have decided to stick with the 18"s for now and run some spacers to improve the appearance.....

Currently 18 x 8 et 47, shod in Mich PS3's on -20mm springs. I know 15mm front and 20mm rear are the go to option, but a quick measurement and looking online at some wheel manufacturer sites it would appear that I could go to 20 and 25mm respectively on the 8" rim with 47mm offset.

So, can anyone confirm these ( 20 fr, 25 rear ) will be ok with 8" rims at er47 please ?

Next question, bolt on or thru hole with extended bolts ? Kinda feel bolt on is a better option, but be great to hear opinions on the relative advantages. Also any pointer to brand and where to source gladly received!!!

Thanks in advance guys
 
I'd go equal all round to keep the handling characteristics.
Wider rear in theory will make you understeer a touch more when pushing on
