   They wont 'cause problems' unless your car is stupidly low, and they will look better with 10mm spacers as the c2 offset is a bit different, wont cause rubbing without spacers but just looks better with them.

   as long as there on a 40 profile tyre there shouldnt be a problem. lower the car anymore than about 40mm and it might rub

   I've seen a VTR and a VTS with C2 alloys, looked crap imo mate, i've always preffered VTR alloys, but it's your car bud.

    5mm spacers cost about £10 on ebay or £15 from halfords, 10mm are about £40 for 4 with longer bolts from ebay

    just had a look, you can get a pair of spacers for about £15 but then you need longer bolts
