Default wheel spacers?

ok so i know people usually get wheel spacrs when they get aftermarket wheels cuz itll push it out more but i was wondering if i can put them on my stock wheels? "Widen your wheelbase with a set of custom-designed wheel spacers for superior cornering and roll reduction. Wheel spacers push your tires out flush with your wheel well for an aggressive look and better handling. And, wheel spacers are simple to install" -eibach- the reason why im thinking to put some on my wheel because eibach says it reduces body roll. is this true? i am currently workin on my suspension mods so this will definityely help me.

Here are some pictures of my car that I took not to long ago. I have 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the rear.

Before you bother with wheel spacers, get a rear sway bar (possibly front). You'll get MUCH more benefit from them than wheel spacers. I don't think the body roll thing is as true as you'd like to think it was.

TRDSparks has the Hotchkis sway bar set on sale for $255 shipped. A set of front and rear spacers will run you nearly the same price or more and will not even have close to the effect of handling as the sways.

But if you want to get spacers... I'd say 20mm in the rear and 15mm up front will give you a very flush look.

NA Motorsports sells them and they're $135 for the 15mm and $140 for the 20mm (price is for 2). So pretty expensive.
