    More info needed... are you low? What size wheels? Offset? Tire sizes? What kind of stance do you want?

    I am pretty well slammed out on stock 15s. Tire size is 205/50/15. I am not too sure what the offset is on the wheels. I am not wanting anything to drastic. More of a subtle addition.

    Measure distance from the tire to the fender and get ones that are few milimeters thinner to prevent tire to fender rubbing. Bam there's your spacer thickness. Make sure you also get longer bolts.
    I'm not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example...
