Default optimum size offset on stock 17"

I dont know where to properly ask this, so please point me

1st its an AWD 250

Anyways, I saw that Javy use 15mm in the back I think for his stock 18"? But since the stock 18" is staggered, I was wondering If I can get away with 20mm in the back wheels after lowering my ride about 2".

After measuring, with a 2" drop the back will have a tad bit less than 1", if I do 20mm will I go getting too close? Will the tire hit the wheel well or fender flare if I go over bumps and stuff?

I planning to do 10mm front also.

Anyone got spacer brands they want to recommend? Also any tips and hints I should watch out for? Or good shops in NJ that can do it for a good price (my friend's friend wants to charge me 500 just for the lowering job )
