MORE offset qeustions.... need help!

right, sorry for the repetitive question, at least this time, i do understand what offset actually is, but the problem is this.
as you can see, they are 16" team dynamics with offset of et37 and are 7.5" wide, my asrches are not rolled, yet...
the front alloys fit on fine with 9.5mm spacers, which puts the offset perfect(says 27.5 on the alloy). all i need to do is move the foot well back by a few mm so they dont rub, inner arche is removed.

on the back,,,, this is the prob..
with them bein wider than they should be for the cinq, they sit against the axel and trailing arm, along with the boot seem.

the question...

if i was to use 25mm spacers and bend back the boot seem, they would fit fine, but, the offset would be 14.5mm under, making it et13.5. i know if its on the front the wheels would shake like f**k and the handling would be rubish, but what if it was perfect on the front(using 9.5mm spacer) and the back was using 25mm spacers, would this still make it handle bad and shake? or wont it mater with it being on the back?

someone please help;)

i dont know lol but they are damn nice alloys!

only thing i could see being a prob now is that the cinq will look too tall on the 16" which is a shame as ur cinq is gorgeous as low as it was!

they are the team dynamics diablo 16"x7.5" et37
they do look nice and if i can get them to fit i'll be buying them off my mate.

and it will be lower once they on, gonna get some coil over for it, so could lower or raise as much as i liked:D;)

that and the fact that i've got BIG plans for the body work, which will make it look lower, just need to know if it would be ok with 25mm spacers on the back. dont fancy paying out for the spacers and bolts to get them to fit if they gonna make it ride horrible anyway, lol.

If you do get 'em to fit, I presume you'll be sticking your sporting alloys in the parts for sale forum? :D

If you do, I may be interested in purchasing 'em! [8D]

Um...
