The offset differential for these cars is right at 1", so with the same diameter wheels (F/R) 25mm spacers will put them close to spot on...(20-25mm pending on camber adjustment)
That's why you see a 9.5+25 & 10.5+12 a common fitment....1" difference in wheels = 12,13mm offset difference.

Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, if I install 25mm spacers on the rear hubs, when I install on top of them the narrower OEM sport fronts, the outside edges of the rims with respect to the opening edge of the wheel/fender well will be very close to where the edges of the OEM rear sport wheel would be, correct?

If I were willing to live with the look of the wheel being inside the wheel well a bit (in other words, without a spacer installed), would there still be adequate roome between a front wheel and the rear caliper (or any other component, for that matter)? (This situation may actually help prevent some of the road debris that is normally picked up from hitting as much of the painted parts of the vehicle, but I might be wrong on that.)

While I'm at it, in order to install a 25mm spacer, do the OEM studs have to be shortened so that they don't poke out of the spacer?
