So, in theory, if your Megan's previously barely cleared 17x9.5+12 wheels, with the extra 25mm extended brackets, you would gain an extra 25mm of space between your wheel and coilover without pushing the wheel any closer to/or past the fender. The brackets were created SO YOU DON'T NEED TO USE SPACERS!!!

If you buy the 17x10+20 wheels and use 25mm spacers, that gives you effectively 17x10-5 wheels. That's wide-fender, rubberband tire & rediculous camber territory. If thats what you want... fine. But me? I'm aiming at the same wheels with 245/40 tires fitting under stock fenders. This is the reason those Megan extended brackets exist...
Nahhh man, It's nothing but a mutual misunderstanding.

I meant IF I bitch ouot an go for the 17x9 +35, I have a 25mm spacer to make an effective 17x9 +10. No way I'd rock 17x10 -5, lol.
