Default Spacers for stock wheels

If i wanted to make my factory wheels flush what size spacers would i need front and rear? im getting sick of flipping my wheels from stock to 20s between track events because my alignment is always off and i cant get R compounds for the 20s so... i was thinking of running spacers and longer wheel studs. This way i could just run R compounds but wouldnt look sucked in like stock does. I could also get my suspension set up correctly with my new sway bar and maybe some BC's.

I and others have run 15mm h&r's (with extended studs of course) with no problems but given past posts, most members here are very anti-spacers, especially if tracking the car.

If you decide to go with the 15mm H&R's send me a pm, I've got a pair new unopened I'll sell for $85. I've got them up on ebay for $100. Orig. cost $115.
I didn't like the look after installing one pair on my stock F wheels.
