A bit of help on the wheel spacers please..

i got a mk2b punto lowered 35mm with 205/40/17 wolfrace street octane wheels on.

I read tht the bolt tht holds the shock absorber in or summit rubs when ppl sit in back. I thought it was the arches but got a body shop garage to check it out and it isnt the arches. He looked and said well the gap between the bolt and my rim was only 4mm he said so when weight shifts or ppl sit in its probs tht catching. He said put a 5mm spacer on or lower if i can get a smaller one.

What would you suggest? the 5mm i heard gives a better stance and looks better and wud give me tht extra 2mm clearance than the 3mm spacer. The 5mm spacer would that end up making my wheel then rub on arches or not? cos if it dont id go for the 5mm. I got wobbly bolts will these be fine with either of these spacers? or will they be too short or anything an need special bolts.

https://www.fiatforum.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=5467&cat=all this person is selling these at 17 quid a pair on here, but
http://wolfrace-alloy-wheels.co.uk/wolfrace/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,66/category_id,3/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,53/ and thts for 4. Would them universal ones be fine?
 
argh i really dont know how to find that out, cos i aint a clue, but if universal ones are poo then i will buy from the guy selling on fiat forum.

does anyone know the offset for my wheels? wolfrace street octane 17's
 
the wheels come in all diffrent off sets, it will be on the wheel some where, if you bought them new and said what car they are for then they should have come with the correct off set so no need for spacers,

best way to see where it rubbs is take wheel off and look for the cleam spot, thet will be where it rubs
