Rear needs to be closer to 50 to fit "right"or its gonna be ugly with a decent sized non stretched tire.

All a spacer is gonna do is make the situation worse..its gonna be less than 40 and stick out even more......more offset puts wheel in more..less offset makes wheel stick out more.

i think you'll be more than that so hopefully your buddy can shave the mounting surface otherwise you'll be stretching tires to keep them in the wheel well. 10mm is about 4 inches, i cant imagine if my wheels stuck out another 4 inches from where they are now, I'd be chewing up my fenders like crazy
