without spacer then M6 offset is the most aggressive you can find but if you go aftermarket then most brands make them in 20/20 offsets

My wheels does not come up with spacers, but to me it's already quite a "flush" setup.
Offset 25 (8.5" wide) for front and offset 17 (10" wide) for rear!

Small Tomato,

Yes, your setup is nice, but I don't know with offset 32 on front and rear its good.

I need be sure if I will need spacers.

I believe this offset question will solely depend on how concave is the wheel design.. Perhaps you can visit those "online wheel configurator" to find out each brand's offset for your car.

Small Tomato,

The wheels is like yours with Chrome lips. Here in Brazil is difficult to find the correct offset...
