How big are the wheels? 17, 18?
With an effective et of 12 and 17 (respectively) those are going to be sticking out past your fenders a bit.......

That offset is way too low (with the spacers) and those tires are way too tall (over 8% difference from oem).....you will have all kinds of clearance problems if you use those.
