15mm spacers & M7 coilvers

is it possible or will I rub? Currently I have the stock 17" w/ runflats, I will probably switch out the stock rims for some ultra light rims but will most likely keep the same dimensions as the current 17"ers. Will I run into rubbing issues if I add spacers?

That's precisely my setup - M7s with 15mm H&R spacers, although my rims are 18s with wider tires. No rubbing issues whatsoever.

a few other things one also should consider when getting spacers:
1) offset of your wheel
2) lug bolt length
3) hub size

Each set contains 2 spacers, and for the wider spacers they come with the ring so you can mount the wheel.
