I just got my spacers from ICHIBA. I got 25mm. Here's their website ICHIBA

Haha, I was looking at that site this morning... I called them but I guess it was too early. I'm actually ordering some 25mm for my rears - the offset (for stock 18" wheels) is quite extreme once you drop the car. The gap from tire to fender is a tiny bit over 25mm.

Considering the fact that you will have to put much longer lugs on it to even do a test fit (a major PITA), I would reconsider the plan.

Thanks for the replies, everyone... I have no idea what the stock wheel offset is, but I was instructed to measure the distance from the tire to the fender. I taped a piece of string to the fender with some washers tied to it to create a plumb line, and measured the gap from the tire to the string. Did I measure wrong? I got 20mm for the fronts, and 25mm for the rears. Thanks,
Javier

Did you do this? How To Measure?
The widest point of your tire and wheel combination is usually the outside diameter of the tire sidewall. Using a ruler with the straight edge flush with the face of the tire, measure the gap between the outer face of the tire to the inside lip of the fender as shown in the diagram. This will determine the thickness of the spacer you will need.
5MM = 0.197 INCH
8MM = 0.313 INCH
10MM = 0.393 INCH
12MM = 0.473 INCH
15MM = 0.590 INCH
20MM = 0.787 INCH
25MM = 0.983 INCH
