It depends what you're looking for. IMHO 15mm is a lot. But regardless Eibach has any combination you want. I installed 5mm spacers and 225-45-17 on my s-lites and have no rubbing at all (original suspension). I also believe that the first thing to improve handling is a good set of rubber...
15mm is a significant change... enough to notice the difference in handling
even on street.
becareful though, when you do aggressive offsets for cosmetics...
cause it doesn't look that great if your wheels are hanging very flush to
the fender but wheels/tires are skinny looking.
you need some meat on the tires and then push it towards the fender.

Thanks Guys,really Appreciate Your Input,right Now I Just Have The Bbs Wheels And Stock 205-45-17 R/f's. Think I'm Going With 5mm Spacers And Change Tires/wheels When These Tires Are Worn Out (13k Now) Thanks Again.

Go for a custom set of wheels to fit what you're needs if budget allows.
