Default what spacers for my stock wheel?

ok so these are my stock wheels when my car was on stock springs. since then I lowered it and added rims but winter is here so I took my rims off. I just want to know if anyone is running spacers on these stock wheels. I'm lowered on nf's as well.

I run spacers on my 17"s you should run 25mm in the rear, and 15mm up front.

thats what I was thinking but wasnt too sure. which brand should i go with?H&R?does anybody know the offset of the wheels pictured? dont want to take a wheel off now its been snowing and raining out here in NY
also,will the wheel spacers give me any shaking or change the ride because since i took the 20's off and put the 16's on i'm loving the ride haha.forgot what it was like lol

i heard h&r is good. also try searching either in here or the wheel category of CL for direction.

i think oem's run +50 offsets could be wrong though

just make sure the spacers are hubcentric h&r's are as well as a multitude of other brands

25 15 on the stock 16s sounds good but you could probably go even more as they are sunk in about a foot in the rear when you drop the car...

It still can go out further with the OEM offset.

thank's sam. that just pretty much made my call, when my spacers come in i'll post pics of my 16s with 30 rear and 20 front and drop. i like my stock 16s call me strange, they just need better offset to have "the look"

What about the stock 18s from the 3gen GS? How much can I go with those? I'm dropped on Espelir springs and l-tuned shocks.
