How thick are they mate? The fronts sit wider than the backs anyway, sot the rear spacers are more so to move the wheels into line.

I've got 5mm on my front, just to clear the calipers, will be taking that to 4mm if i can find some, as 3mm isnt enough.

I've just fitted 10mm H&R spacer on the front. I had to put them on to get the correct offset for my wheels. Make sure they are hubcentric ones tho if they are more than 5mm.

ive got 3mm spacers on mine but its a bit to close for my liking so i might get the 6mm ones ive got made to 4mm a place near me specializes in metal fabricating

Your local backstreet engineering firm will skim 1mm off for you for beer money more than likely :)
