Have you thought about just doing the rears? I personally think the fronts look ok as they are.

I agree with Kev regarding the rear only - I'm running 265 70 16s on the front and they look good unspaced

thanks i agree the fronts look fine so ill just do the backs for now ....will i still be ok to put 265 75 16 on all round or will the spacers cause them to rub?

I've put standard 255/70/16's on. There is oodles of space at the rear with 50mm spacers.My worn out ones on the front never rubbed but the new ones with full tread did, especially reversing on full lock!!! I have got Cobra alloys on though which might have a different offset.
Try putting full lock on in both directions and just see how much extra clearance the bigger tyres might use up remembering to take into account suspension travel.

What are the insurance implications of fitting wheel spacers? Anyone know?

Saw a Black Ex with wheel spacers front and back for sale on ebay. Looked really good with the wheel spacers.
