Did you were able to solve the small rub issue you mentioned before? If so, by rolling the fenders?
I'm looking for the same look of my 8 but not sure if 15 or 20 mm will avoid any issue.

For people looking for other 8's with similar setup here are some pics. Sorry 9K for hijacking your thread :P. I think your car looks really nice now. Kudos!

Thanks dude, you were my inspiration. I'll have Shinka wheels on soon, then I will experiment with the regular stockers and a professional paint gun setup and some guidance

Damn I cant believe I missed this thread in my searching.
When you say it rubs slightly then it has disapeared, have you see any type of damage in the wheel well?
Also how much weight have you had in your car since the spacers. Say yourself +3 passengers. Did it end up rubbing worse or only slightly on hard bumps?

Thanks guys, I have gotten abagillion PM's from people requesting info on this setup. I got a new set of Shinka wheels recently so they will go on soon and I will post up some new pics. It won't be a huge change but my stockers are pretty beat up after 113,000 miles.
