(calculator will say extend 24mm when given your original wheel specs to new specs without spacer). If you leave the spacer on, remember your new front wheels will effectively be a 18x8.5 +5

now for the rears, 18x9 +15 to a 18x10 +25 will give you +3mm extending outwards.

so if you like the look where your rears are now, leaving the spacer on the rear, they will still extend 3mm outwards when you put the new wheels on. If you take the spacer out, your NEW rear wheels will sit 17mm further inwards.
Makes sense. I would take the front spacer off, but leave the rears. Honestly, as it sits not, the rears are probably 5mm away from looking perfect (to me). The fronts, I don't think it would poke, as long as that is the case, I think I should be good.

...so I hope
