sorry for the delay. Been really busy with work.
My wheels are 20" Miro 111's
Front 20x8.5 ET18 245/30-20 Vredstein Sessanta
Rear 20x9.5 ET18 285/25-20 Vredstein Sessanta
With the 5mm spacers in the front, I clear the strut by 2mm.

Crap... I'm going to be running this same setup very soon. Nex GT's with the 20" staggered 111's.
Thanks for the heads up.
Any reason why you didn't go with 5mm spacers all around?
Did you need longer lug nuts or will the OEM's do?

thanks for the update.
I'm considering 19x8.5 fronts with ET15 offsets, so it looks like I would still need some "wafer-thin" spacers to clear the coils.
good to know.

well the other thing is that with a 20inch wheel its one inch higher and a few mm closer to the strut since the strut is angled...does that kinda make sense?
willtheyfit.com is a good resource for guesstimating
