From reading on here I thought they should only go on the back? Oh no I'm confused now and should I get 10mm or 20mm, I thought 20mm as people with the same wheels have done so?

You only put them on the back as the front would change turning circles etc and DEFINITELY go for 20mm spacers. I was gonna get 15mm spacers but am so glad I bought the 20mm's. Brings the wheel to where it's supposed to be.

Your definately right! but when you only have a 7j alloy with 205 rubber it looks a little thin! still nice and wide BUT

215 7.5j with a 10mm spacer looks the mutts mate! trust me! then you get a tyre with edge protector and it give it the stretched look !

But aimez has bought some Tavvy VRS rims so it's gonna look exactly the same as mine! Just thought I'd say. But still good advice. I did wonder about 215's on mine.

What about 215s and 20mm spacers? Wouldn't that make it just stick out another 5mm as the remaining 5mm would be on the inside?....I want 20mm spacers but may get 215s in the future.

No way they are 17 x 6 on the FR!!

They are at least 17 x 7, my standard Sport wheels were 16 x 6.5
