Default Spacers Qestion

I am thinking on installing eibach springs and 15mm spacers and leave my stock 17" wheels, i really like the car to look stock but with a nice fitment.
is there any problem doing this? i dont want head haches later.
The guy from the shop said that im not gonna have any problems.
Thanks in advances for your comments and advices.

Interesting, before i bought my mooncakes i asked REV-01 if i should put spacers too on my car, all he did was shake his head and say no, so i said, ok and that was the end of it. I didnt ask why thou since i trust his judgement. Dont think this helps you but i'd thought i'd share my spacer exp.

Make sure you use H&R spacers. They are the best I've ever come across

I also have a 250AWD. I put Tein springs on it and through some rims too. I've looked in to getting spacers because the wheels are kind of tucked. Plus I say the wider the better so why not? Why not get spacers? I'd like to know too.

I like to have my cake and eat it too.

15mm is equal to 30mm offset in the front wheels.

JavyLSU had great results with 12mm front and 17mm rear spacers in the past. He had custom spacers made, but he mentioned that if you wanted to go with the H&R spacers, the 15mm and 20mm would work (f/r).

JavyLSU - care to chime in?
