Wow .... no offence but, another thought would have been .... buy wheels with appropriate offset so you didn't have to start shopping for spacers.
Well ... many would say your final offset on those rears could be ballpark 31 (meaning you need around another 19mm ....shucks). And the fronts, many might say that 8.5 could be ballpark 42 (so you need another 13mm).
Good luck.

No offense taken. Believe me, I would've bought a set of wheels that would bolt right onto the car and have no issues with widths/offsets/tire sizes. The wheels I bought are BBS LM's and the set-up I got was the most "aggressive" fitment that they make for the turbos. I really like the wheels so I decided I want to make them work...now I just have to figure out how

Yep ... got it.
If this is any help .... below is what she'd look like if you pushed em out to around where I suggested.
Keep in mind that ride height also contributes to the effect (ie filling out the wheel arch). This car is down to approx height & rake of GT3 ... & you realy should have a tight suspension (and possibly do a little fender prep) to be down at this level.
But the offset was what I was trying to help you with...more pics on my site.

Thanks for the visual help. Much appreciated. I think what I'm going to do is once I get the wheels in, I'll measure the gap and purchase accordingly. Will post when I get everything on!
