Done and they fit like a dream. Going to lower with the H&R springs next to perfect it.
Wheels widened 1" to the inside by Weldcraft:
25mm H&R Trak+ DRM spacers (part number: 5075670), cut the tips of oem lugs off (unmodified oem wheels will still go on without spacers because I'm really only cutting maybe 2 threads off, the tips on these oem lugs are just unthreaded easy start tips)

Does this dude still post?
Was there any more room, inside or outside, for any more width on the rears?
Looking to have steelies widened too.

No more room on outside for rears, and not sure about inside. I'll check next time I'm under there. Haven't done much with the car lately but it just went out of warranty so it's gunna be time for some more upgrades/time on the forum.
