Default Poll: What spacers for S-Techs with Stock 18" Wheels?

I'm thinking of getting S-Techs in the near future, and will be keeping my stock chromed wheels because I like them. What size spacers did you guys get to get it nice and flush? I have the 18" wheels with stock tires.
I saw other threads, ppl using different sizes from 10-15mm in the front and 20-25 mm in the rear.

I want the front wheel to be nice and flush and the top of the rear tired to line up with the fender.

i have 15mm spacers for the front and 20mm spacers for the rear and they are flush... Im not lowered but if you do put springs then it would look even better and get the best flushness

Thanks for the replies already. I see that with 20mm in the rear, there is still some room. Can someone post pics with 25mm spacer in the rear, and 05LSV, which spacer did you use from H&R? I'm looking on their site, they have several different kinds, like DR, DRS, DRA.
