Wheel spacers for Evo8!

What "mm" size should I use if I have the stock BBS wheels on my Evo8 and just want a wider stance for looks, after I lowered her, the wheels looked a bit recessed. I've been seeing 15mm on perrinperformance, but then called jegs, and they were trying to get me into 1 1/4 in.! so idk..anybody know what size would just make the rim sit just inside the fenders with out rubbing?

^^ i think that is definitely bad for your drivetrain.
throttledrop, 20mm spacers should be perfect depending on the size of tires you're running. 235/40/17 doesn't require any fender work ... if you're using wider tires, you might want to roll your fenders

ichiba 20mm spacers bolts directly to the wheel hub also, so you wont have to run extended wheel studs. Check that one out see if it suits you.

I measured and it seems like 20mm will get my 8 wheels pretty flush, anyone have experience with that? Pros and cons??

I ran 20mm spacer in front and 15 mm in rear on my evo 9 with the factory bbs wheels i had. I was lowered on coilovers and 235/45/17 tires. No rubbing with no pull or roll.
