Need spacers

If anyone can help me out as to what size rear spacers I need to match the fronts, that'd be appreciated. I'm thinking 25mm? Also, what brand should I go

Are those the factory sport wheels or aftermarket with different offsets???

If you have not lowered your car on factory sport wheels, you can go 20mm without issues as far as I know. That is what I have ordered for mine... I am also going 15mm more in the front too. I want to keep the stock stagger.

Aftermarket 20's with 40 offset. They are sunken-in compared to the fronts..which are a tad bit out of wheel well. I dont mind that, tho..but the rears look bad

I guess it all depends on the amount of mods you plan to do too... if you are going with a lowering kit and rear camber arms, you can go wider than 20mm, but if you want to play it safe, it looks like 25mm max. 20mm to be safe.

Was going to do coilovers but since I put the wheels back on it's abit lower and I scrape more now. So no more exterior mods or lowering springs and such; just a new front air dam.

How wide are the rims and what size tires you have may be helpful. I'm running 19x10.5 20+offset with the stock sport tire sizes and 20mm spacer in the rear and have no rubbing issues at all. I'm also lowered on eibach springs. If I go with a wider tire though I think I might run into some issues.
