H&R Wheel Spacers for our Rear Wheels

I looked through threads but couldn't find any information on using wheel spacers for our rear wheels. I don't know why, but they seem to be in deep. Has anyone tried wheel spacers on the rears? If so, how what size spacers and what is the after-effect?

I'm conisdering 20mm or 15mm just for the rear. By the way, I will be installing H-Tech springs next week and I currently have 17" Velox Rims (regular offset of 42). So how would that effect wheel spacing?

You should be ok w/ either spacers. I'm very close of rubbing w/ 18X8.5 and 5mm spacers.

Were the benefits (appearance, performance, etc.) worth the $120?

If I were you, I would get the rims w/ the correct offset so that you don't need to use spacers but it's little too late for that

Spacers will make your car look better.
