Ok, people, tally: vibration or no?!?!
Keep in mind, I have an Xi, so rears are 8.5 inch rims w. 245's. I'm thinking to go 15 or 20 mm (more likely 15mm).

Go ahead and get the rear spacers, H&R or Rogue...as long as they're hubcentric. I'd go with 15mm in the rear if I were you...or just get a new set of rims all together.

Thanks! Don't know why I thought they were 8.5 wide... I'll try to hunt for some spacers and see how that works.
You think there'd be an issue if I put on 20mm spacers? Its only 5mm differernce, but I am just paranoid about the rubbing/vibrations...

I am pretty sure your rims are 8" all around.

But the question will the 15 mm cause any rubbing with three passengers in the back? Thanks
