If you have stock wheels, go with 20mm spacers. I will have pics shortly.

H&R spacers are the best way to go, they are hubcentric and come with replacement bolts. I have 15mm on my rears.
Options Auto seems to have the best prices, a lot of us have bought from them, hope this helps:

I had 15mm up front and 20mm H&R spacers at the back with the 17x7 TE rims that had 45mm offset. I had them installed with 235/45-17 tires and had both the front and back flush.

I wonder if with the stock rims, 15mm up front and 20 in back would produce the flush affect. Hmmm...this is why I ask, lol.b

The 20's in back bring the stock wheels out to just below flush. I've got a set lying around in my garage with extended studs. They are hubcentric 20mm spacers X 5.50 inches in diameter. I made these and have 4 installed on my car now. I'll sell the 2 I have left over with the studs for $70 shipped, or best offer. PM me if interested.

Here is my cardomain page showing some examples.

Here is a writeup I did on the wheel spacers and a comparison of two 2k2 max's with and without spacers in the rear.

If the offset on your rims is around 45mm, then they will sit flush with this setup. By the way, my sig shows a different set of rims.

Anyone one of y'all using Eibach spacers? I just saw the GD thread for em, but I know most of you use H&R spacers. Just wondering if anyone had any opinions on the Eibachs.

do you guys with 20s in the rear think 25mm would be even better or would that be too much?

20mm do not make it flush. I have them and they don't, 25 would be best.

You will have to be carefull also with the wheel hitting if you lower the car and 20-25mm. I had to roll my fender lip in alittle.
