i shouldnt think you would need any spacers with speedlines mate!

That sounds a bit dodgey, my mate has speed lines on and they dont touch anything. as said above spacers shouldnt be needed.

i think 5-doors must have different inner rear arches or summat because when i first got my alloys they were dangerously close to rubbing against the shocks and inner arch, luckily i hadnt gone for correct offset ones otherwise they would have rubbed lol

speedlines shouldnt touch,
they may touch the spring bit on the front brakes on some early brakes
the only place mine touch is on full lock on the gearbox
