15mm with those wheels should look very good, post pics if you get them... I might follow...

Check out Velocity Motorcar spacers. They have a spacer lock down feature that actually secures the spacer to the hub so as to prevent having to fiddle and properly "set" the spacers.

Best of all, the price point is good and they include bolts, both black and silver.

I priced out a set of (2) 5mm and (2) 15mm for about $150, which is actually about the same price as a pair of 2 H&R 15mm w/ bolts. I may go this setup for my 166's.

HELLA FLUSH FTW..

i used to have 20mm in the rear with my 124's...thats going to be the widest you will be able to go without rubbing. mine were very very close to the fenders.
Any pics of yours with the 20mm spacers? Ever have any rubbing issues with them? Do you have sport suspension?

Similar to the ones I'm looking at. I'm looking at the H&R DRA spacers which bolt down to the hub. I use this style on my Nissan, and they do very good.
