Heres your spacer pics:
They're spaced at 10mm, next ones at 15mm
There's not a fuckload of toe out on the wheels btw, its the angle i took the pics at. still not a lot of clearance between the wheel and the coilover, with the 15 mm spacer there was about 20/25mm?
I reckon ET20 x 9J would go on, would need to try one first though to check clearances. Might even get 9.5J on there but we need to get the suspension set-up and measure the thing properly cos its ballache doing it on your drive! We need to get it right first time or it'll look gay as fuck with a high offset.

Took it for a little spin on thursday 
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MM_CxXsCZEk
Then after Diva reassured Ian that he hadn't cooked the engine () He jumped in to 'make sure it was running ok'
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zz76Q6mefBg
Big thanks to The Diva for helping us keep Ian's neighbours awake until gone 11 the night before helping us getting it to run right (as if they weren't fucked off enough after the grinders last year)
And a massive thank you and big up for FordSportJay, who took us down to Brunters at silly o'clock in the morning, hung about all day and helped out with some niggly issues we had on the day
Ta to Dan, Neil and Jamie for the day out too, and the warm cans of orangina and melted milky ways
The cars still not perfect, but it runs and drives and has no traction whatsoever
So its going to the house of pain soon to have a few little bits tinkered with and then get the suspension set up properly so we can make full use of the bits we've got from NutsRuS for the front end, then its TRACK TIME
