Default Ordered my RS-R down :)

Hello everyone. So today I ordered my RSR down for my car on stock Fsport wheels. I want to put spacers on it but I'm having a hard time choosing brand and size. What do you guys recommend?
I'm debating between Ichibas V2 or H&R. It seems like H&R would be more complicated to install? Where do I buy H&R and what model do I get?
I was looking into Ichibas 17mm rear and 20 or 22 front. Do you guys think that I would get rubbing if I add wider and thicker tires to my F-Sport rims? Oh yeah, where can I get the best price for either brand of spacers? Thank you all for your help.

I'll be sporting pictures once done

Decisions decisions 😫 Lol.
I've never heard of 8prince. Are they good stuff? And yeah I was thinking 15 for the rear since I keep reading different input about rubbing on RSR downs with 20mm. I thought maybe 17 on the rear would be ok. But I think Ichiba is the only one with 17. I also was thinking 25 on the front since that's the better flush look but maybe 20 or 22 would be fine since I want to add wider tires.. Idk 😕 Lol

I got them from outcastgarage.com, they are just a tad bit larger in diameter but they work fine. I would do 25mm in front and 20mm in the back for a square setup. If you go with H&R make sure they are DRM style.

Do you have stock tires on your car? Can I see some pictures?

Ok I'll check them out on that website. DRM means they have the studs in them right? Do you feel any vibration? I wonder if I got thicker I would feel vibration more. Like 25mm? Also I'm thinking on going with wider tires front and back that's why I wanted to stay with 20mm or 22mm in the front and 15mm or 17mm on the back so that I wouldn't get any rubbing and with the wider tires it should look more flush? What do you think?

Yes, the DRM style has the studs on them. I do feel the road a bit more but there's no other concerns and I don't get any rubbing issues with my setup even with people in the back.
