You'll most likely need a 5mm spacer at the front to clear the suspension on full lock, and you may want a 10mm spacer (and therefore longer studs) at the back to even things out visually.
Anything significantly more than this and you start affecting geometry...

Center bore for T4 was 57,1mm, the T25 requires 66,5mm

That's a lot of metal to remove.

I have bored out a few wheels. If any come in that look like they will be sketchy after machining I refuse to do them.
Pics of the hub side of the wheel centre with a tape measure in shot might help here.
