I'm running et35 9.5 front. It's perfect. So et 25 on 10j will be far out past front arch.
It should be fine in rear, perfect in fact

Around £1000 after all the import duty and VAT has been paid.

Plus 10% import duty and 20% VAT..... if you get caught out. I bought a Autronic SM4 ECU (£1000) from California and got it through without any taxes

As I said: "£759.51 + Shipping + Duty, which is comparable with purchasing a set of used CSL wheels off ebay" (a set was recently sold for £1,225 with Cups fitted)

So anywhere this side of 1K your quids in!

Little boxes aren't worth the paperwork, but with a set of wheels they will be all over it like a rash.

How would it work if I got them posted to a relative in America, and then they posted it to me as a gift?

I don't think you would get away with it, but you might get lucky.
