Ive got them on my gc8, fit fine, probably a good idea to roll the rear guards
wheels world tell me that 52-53 offset is ideal

Go the coilovers. Spacers are pretty nasty, most places don't like them and will refuse to fit them for you, and may even void your insurance .. (I think)

A more expensive option I know, but seriously worth it.

with that offset, Id doubt you'll even need to roll the guards.
