Aside from the fact it doesn't actually exist you mean... (You do know they're both photoshopped images of bits of 4th gen and 5th gen front ends stuck together, right? ) ;)

I don't think it will be of any benefit using spacers to push your oversized tyres closer to the arch/bumper tab ;)

Yep. Your rubbing on the arches with the edge of your tyre. Using a spacer will push the wheels out further so your no long rubbing on the edge of the tyre but now rubbing the flat face of the tyre on the arch. So even more rubbing.

Your tyres are too big...so are the wheels. :lol:
