Default spacer options

hey i need some advice on what spacers to get for my new wheels... they are enkei rp02 18x7.5 with a +48 offset. i know the offest is high but i got an unbeatable deal and i need to find the correct spacers. these wheels with the high offset stick out +3mm more that stock even with the high offset so i am wondering what the best choice would be for spacers. the car will be dropped on s-techs. i am thinking 15 in the front and 20s in the rear so the overall would be 18 more in the front and 23 in the rear... is this too much for 18's on s techs?

I would suggest 10-15mm spacers. Maybe 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear. That should be pretty close to flush. Though I can't guarantee no rubbing with s-techs. I THINK they should be OK, but I don't know for sure.

Only spaces out there I'd recommend are from H&R. And they're not cheap:

that will fit perfect.
i had 18x7.5 et33 + 5mm spacer in the rear. that setup is the same as what youre proposing. i was dropped 2.5 inches on coilovers. i experienced no rubbing at all.
I would go for it.

Here is an old pic of that setup (18x7.5 et33, plus 5mm rear spacer). i felt another 5mm front and rear would have looked better, but i didnt want to risk rubbing.

H&R goes from 5mm to 15mm, I'm not aware of anyone who makes a 10mm.

I knew that about H&R. I dont think 5mm would be enough for me and 15 is too much.
