Well another box ticked on my to do list:

Had my brother-in-law knock me up front and rear hub centric spacers today 20mm rear 15mm front.

Here he is machining the billet alloy then drilling the holes:

I'm really happy with the way the wheels fit nicely under the wide arches now, there was a great improvement from the stock 17" wheels to the 20" wheels as the offset of the 20's was ET30 instead of the stock ET50 but with the spacers it brings them out just right.

Here's how the stock 17's looked (lost) under the wide arches:
