I have 5mm spacers cause I needed them to fit 225 tires, and so does quikmini he has 15mm though.

But why do you need spacers?????

With the stock wheels, 215/40 tires, and the 15mm spacers; I get a little rubbing in the rear. It only rubs when the rear suspension is compressed and just rubs on the plastic wheel well liner. It has not caused any tire damage, just a little rub mark on the tires.

For looks, I would go for 10mm with Michelin PS2 in 225/35-18. You can see our gallery for pics, but I got a post somewhere here that has pics too.

Here is a NAM link where I had previously posted some pictures.
http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...-question.html
I run about -2.0 degrees of camber in the front and about -1.5 in the rear. Thus that tilts the front tire in a little more than stock in the front but there is plenty of room in the front.
