Wheel Spacer Question

So I'm thinking of doing wheels spacers to bring my OEM BBS out flush with the fenders. To those that have done this, which spacers do you recommend? I know this is a divided topic so please respond only if you have experience in the matter.

Just guesstimating but you'd probably be looking at around 15mm in the front and 5, maybe 10mm max in the rear. You'd probably want at least a small roll in the rear, especially if you went with 10mm, to ensure the wheel and tire has room to tuck into the fender under compression.

15 or 20mm bolt on spacers do the trick.

Rear fender work required. Roll, slight pull or you can do a tight roll as well as bumper bolt relocation

Thanks for the input guys. The rear fenders have already had a slight roll done to them since the previous owner had a wider set of wheels/tires on the car before and it was on coilovers.
I have a set of BC coilovers on it now and might actually raise the rear about a 1/2" to create more room. That would actually make both wheels gaps identical.
