I know 18mm longer bolts I guess I should have added, I have no clue how long the stock bolts are

I need to get me some spacers!

Apparently adding spacers improves handling as the car track is wider??

Lots of variables here.
If you go real low, & have not stiffened your suspension, & are running any respectable neg. camber.....18" spacer in the rear added to reg 45mm offset hollows will cause you more trouble than fender prep can solve.
GT2 height is 113F (+-5mm) and 138R (+-5mm)......if you stay up a bit, stiffen, not so much neg cam....any one or como of the 3 & you may be OK.
Suggestion.....a future plan to order wheels with your desired offset....put the 18" spacers on the shelf.
