wheel spacers for OEM 17s on a 2001 anyone?

...I have a 2001 SE with the stock 17s, stock springs and want them even with the fenders, not "tucked in" like from the factory. I DO NOT want them sticking out. Anyone here have spacers on theirs to remedy this? H&R makes hubcentric spacers in different widths. Just guessing we may need 6mm or 8mm. Anyone here have experience with this?, and anyone know offhand our bolt patern spacing and a good place to get the H&R spacers? thanks.
Post pics of your offset if you have them installed, please.

It depends. A 5mm spacer would be good up front while a 15 or 20 mm for the back. I put 20mm on the back. u can see in my writeup.

I noticed no real difference at all in the handling of the car. took all my turns the same with the same result. No probs so far and have had them for about a year now.
