Try 'Kics Project' spacers from, for example, Evasive Motorsports. I believe they have a 10mm size, and sell separate hubcentric rings to go with them. I run the 15mm versions with my stock wheels (standard ride height) and they work, and look, great. I don't use the hubcentric rings though - you just have to be careful starting the lugnuts off.

meat_evo is using 20 or 25mm spacers to bring out the stock wheels, im running 10mm ichibas on my volks to make them sit more flush. but i got the studs replaced with longer ones.

hey mate, these are pics off my phone to give you an idea.
the pics were very good quality, but this forum only allows pics to be 100kb, so i can only show them to you in thumbnail size, sorry!
the rims are on 18mm spacers, with stock ride height, rim is very flush with the fender, but when the car is lowered it goes in a lil..... so if your going to get suspension or springs, the id say go 20mm or 26mm!
left pic is stock ride height, left is when car is on coilovers. hope it helps.

I think if you go with too big a spacer, it will look funny... the wheel is still stock width but pushed out very far.

I'll post some photo's of stock wheels with 15mm spacers on .... works pretty well from a visual point of view.
However, Ralliart have expressed some concerns to me so we are looking into it a bit more .... I also get rubbing on full lock!
