Hello 
How would the 17/8.5 et 53 fit with the Spoon fenders? Want the rear arches, Is there any pictures of this setup or am i just being blind? I can find lots of cars with the Spoon fenders but i must just be missing the ones with Spoon wheels
What height are the dampers? I cannot really go lower then 20MM as it makes getting the car on/off the drive a pain in the backside, I dont even know if 20MM will work with the diffuser and front bumper to be honest,
Any idea on the number plate lights for the bumper or any pictures?
Cheers,
Phil.

The believe the bumper takes the existing number plate lights. I would need to confirm this.
You asked for Pics and here's loads!
This is the Go Tuning Unlimited Demo Car running the same set up you are enquiring about. Pics courtesy of Link

Thanks Ant,
Looks spot on,
Is that 9.5 rear?
So if i went 8.5 and 9.5 i would be ok running 255 all round? I love the AD08's and cannot see the AD08'Rs being bad so would like to stick with them hence saying 255, Or would a 225 be ok on the front?
What kind of affect would this have on handling balance?
Try not to be to harsh with my limited knowledge
To me having the wider front means its going to oversteer more? So either stiffen the front up or soften the rear?
I don't plan to be on a track for a while but i want to know i am still running a safe fast road car while still being someway to not killing my back off,
If you (or anyone) can also confirm what number plate lights it takes as well please,
Cheers,
Phil.

With 8.5 front and 9.5 rear you would want 235 and 275 respectively. You could go 255 all round but I wouldn't.
255 is the max size on AD08 so use them on the rear and 245 front.
You are changing the bias to more front grip and may need to stiffen the front, but you would need to be pretty in tune with the car to notice it.
Not a fan of 'square' setup.

As Mark said.
Spoon recommend a 235/40 on the front and a 225/40 on the rear. I use the ADO8's and love them.
