Don't get cheap Chinese made spacers on Ebay.

If you don't want to modify your fenders then go with 15mm up front and maybe 25mm for the rears...but 20mm to be safe. Bolt on spacers is as easy as removing and mounting on your tires.

A couple vendors here sell legit spacers.

I have tried 4 different brand spacers:

H&R
Project Kics
Ichiba
ebay

By far best quality made imo are the Project Kics....but most priciest. Ichiba and H&R are solid. Ebay well....I have no comment for those one.

Here's some pics for you that I've taken in the past. =) Bolt on spacers bolt right onto your hub and they already have pressed in studs for you to use.

If your fenders are already rolled bro then go with 20mm and 25mm. You will be fine and it will look better.
