20-25mm spacers?

I have a stock 17x7 Webspoke with 205/45/17, hoping to go to 215/40-45/17 soon. Also on H+R Springs. I think I have clearance for 20 or 25mm spacers at all four corners. Any info would be greatly helpfu. Most people dont space these cars that much.

I would not do anything more than 5 mm if you want to use the car on the track. If you want it for show only, perhaps it may be OK.

BTW, you have enough mods on your car already. Come to the track first (on May 17). You will figure out what else you need after that.

I'm not trying to count mods, just trying new things out and while 20mm seems like it would look good it didn't seem like such an awesome idea so I asked. I'll be there on May 17th, but until then I still wanna enjoy messing around with the car and learning what worths mechanically and aesthetically and what doesn't.
Btw, I got at least one more for that day.

You will have plenty of mods to do after you figure out your driving style and how the car handles (reactes to your driving style). Just did not want to have you waste your hard earned money going off in a direction that you might change.

I have you guys down for May 17. Will be fun especially for you. We have at least two advanced Mini track drivers to help out.
