I will have to go with a 7 mm or 10 mm spacer same company. I'm rubbing I'm pretty sure on the inside when I'm putting lateral force on hard cornering. 10 mm will bring me down to 35 mm offset and restore my scrub radius to how it was before. The exact offset on the wheels is 43.6 ish mm giving me a 33.6 offset. The tires grip like crazy going around a corner, but I do think I can notice the difference on a straight away where I think the scrub radius is probably close to being 0. Will I won't settle for the rub and don't want to waste money moving it 2 mm. I will have to measure how much 5 mm will put them out. If I'm lucky they won't be noticeable. With the H&R sport springs I don't think I'm going to rub on the fenders above.
Where's my "drool" smiley!
If those weren't so crazy expensive, that's what my car would be riding on!

They aren't as pretty I suppose, but it's not like you can see them when the wheels are on--$20 and problem fixed...It is not rubbing from wheel turn but body flex/wheel movement up and down only in the rear. The spacing on the inside was pretty tight between tire and inside well. The front spacer would be fore getting less neutral or rear-biased handling and the rear to remove the rub. I'll spend the money to buy the hub centric ones. I noticed a much smoother rider at over 85 mph. However, It is hard to say if it is from the new wheel/tires and or the hubcentric spacers or combinations of them. Either way I don't think I could settle at this point. I figured the track was probably different, but never measured it. Thank you for the advice.
Also, if you didn't know already, the track is different front and rear anyway, so there's no reason to space out the rear wheels other than how it looks (and IMO 10mm is not a huge difference visually) and you'll get more neutral or rear-biased handling if you don't.
