which spacers in front?

I have H&R 20mm spacers in the rear and I'm looking to push the front wheels out a little to match. I'm thinking about getting eibach 5mm or 10mm spacers up front. would the 5mm even make a noticable difference? im asking because the 10mm spacers are pretty expensive...

i also found these 12mm spacers on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/12mm-...spagenameZWDVW

anyone know how the quality is? how do they compare with other brands?

and last question, will any spacer larger than 5mm require longer studs?

thanks!

Stay away from the ebay one's are they even hubcentric? H&R spacers even 5mm come with longer studs, I have 15mm on the rears and I find them to be perfect but I know more have put 20mm, so instead of adding 5mm on the front and you want to save some $$$ why not sell your 20mm's and buy some 15mm's for the rear to match up to the fronts? Same diff, will be even just not out as far.

Besides 5mm is only 0.196850394"

well the 20mm match up perfectly so I dont wanna get rid of those...but you're right about the 5mm, i dont kno if the difference will even be noticable.
