Default aftermarket wheel spacers

so, i'm running a 19"x8" square setup on rs*r down springs and i rub occasionally over dips and such. with that said, should i go with the recommended 25mm front / 20mm rear or will that cause major rubbing or will it look strange?

i bought 18mm spacers all around off of amazon. i'll return them if they don't fit but hopefully they do!

If you are rubbing from the inside then the spacers should help. if you rubbing on the fender, you need smaller, narrower, different offset wheels, or more camber angle.

maybe i should rephrase what i wrote. i think that i'm not rubbing but bottoming out over speed bumps and dips in the road. the noise is coming from under the car. the wheels seem to be fine although i'm installing new wheels next week! new adventure because they are larger (19") than the g spiders i have on right now (18").
