KICs spacers? They make a 10mm with integrated studs... race proven too. Don't know about these random eBay brands.
I'm running 17x9 +63 with 255s up front on top of a 1/8" spacer, so effectively +60 offset (or 59.8 if you're picky). With -2.0 degrees of camber in the front it's super flush- need to roll the fenders slightly (but not pull) to clear the car.

Ah, just got done replying to your 10/20 post. So you're sitting at +60 just like I am with the exact same tires. Very cool.

I have 4x 17x8.5s all around wrapped in 255/40 R-S3s. 5mm up front and the wheels sit flush. Waiting for my 20mm's so the rears can finally sit flush too.
Seems like just a couple other people are running ap2 rears in the front. I was clueless to how well it would sit so I settled with a 5mm to clear the center bore. I think it would look much, much better with a 10mm spacer, but then the oem studs would not clear the recessed holes in the wheels unless I get extended studs. I'm satisfied with the 5mm's for now. I just cant wait to throw on the 20mm's in the rear though.

Just installed Option Selects 15mm on the rear. Lowered 1" on AP2v2s with 245s and factory alignment. Untouched stock fenders. Beautiful fitment with the hubcentric rings and super easy to install with the pressed studs. Won't know how it rides until spring, but first drive might be to the shop for more rear camber.

guys, is anyone running 20mm with v3's? I am really worried about the oem wheel bolts touching the recess on the inside. I measured it and its right on the number 
I really want spacers, but am worried with stock tire sizes, a tein S tech 1" drop and 25mm spacers that I will rub and need fenders rolled (workmanship isnt a word used in dubai too much).
Help is much appreciated.
