Hey guys. Need some input on wheel spacers. Heres my dilemna:
ugly wheels--- Not my car.

I was going to try and find a different set of wheels but I'm going against it. The tires on the ugly stock wheels are brand new and I think i'm just going to rock them for awhile since my college budget says no to new wheels haha. I'm looking into getting some spacers so I can go lower (coilovers). Right now I have very little clearance but it isn't low at all. So i'm looking into spacers for more low and better fitment. Is 15mm spacers too much? Or should I try and find a smaller set?
These:

I recommend measuring the distance between the tire and fender to get the absolute sizing you need.
