check H&R website they are offering 3,5,10,12,15,20,25,30mm what is recommended is 5mm but 5mm isnt enough at all for your car.
Here a pic to show how to know the exact size for a car but put on your mind going lower means more camper I suggest lowering first then choosing the right spacer size if you want clean VIP look and no rubbing issues.
one more thing about the bolts, New bolts must be longer than the original bolts by the width of the wheel spacer used

best option would be to drop first and see what kind of clearance you have, then buy the spacers. For example, right now im on stock suspension, on my style 128's im running 20mm in the back and 12mm in the front. I'm getting a set of coilovers installed next week, i will most likely have to drop the 20mm to maybe 12mm and front to maybe 10 or 5mm since i will most likely wanna drop pretty low and do a slight tuck. If you are not dropping too low, then maybe get some buddies to seat in the car or in the trunk and measure the clearance after lowering, will also give you an idea how much clearance you have for spacers in the rear.

i dunno about you guys, but with the amount of power i go thru rears like no tomorrow, so i've been running general's. They are nice and #1 on tirerack.. if you track your car then do not use generals, but they are pretty sticky for daily use, and they are cheap!
