lowered my car 1 1/2" but want to add spacres

I lowered my car with springs about 1 1/2" from stock and I have my stock wheels I would like to know what spacers I would use so I can have a better look but I also don't want to rub or hit my fenders.

If you check out my build thread (in my signature) I've got 20mm in the back and nothing in the front with stock wheels.

@JMARTINEZ2421

I'm using B2autodesigns bolt on spacers 20mm front and 25mm rear on stock wheels. They look great IMO. However I may be selling them soon as I've purchased new wheels waiting to be installed this week.

I am in the same boat. I love the stock wheels (don't shoot me) but need spacers. I hear 20mm front and 25mm back are the way to go.

I just lowered my car with the eibach pro-kit (1" drop) and put on 20mm F and 25mm R spacers. It's the perfect combo in my eyes for my daily duties. I'll post a pic in this thread once I'm home from work, but at others have said, there are pics floating around here of the same setups.

Looks good IMO.

OK, half a day late, but here are some before/after pics:

I tried uploading these in the right order, but I may have to go back and edit them in case they aren't. Also, sorry about the picture quality. I had to resize them from over 5000 pixels down to just 1300. If the pics are really that bad looking I'll post em to flikr or something and link them, but for now this is the easiest thing to do. Hope this give you a little better idea.

They are a bit tucked. Bolt-ons will work with the stock wheels.
