If you want a bolt on spacer, I think you need to run a 20mm minimum so the stock studs and lugs wont hit the back of the wheel. You can run a 20mm/25mm bolt-on set without an issue. This is assuming you are running the sport rays wheels with stock tire sizes.

It's not silly echo, the spacers just give an aggressive look to the car and help you get the flush look most desire.

Springs are both for look and performance; once you drop the car you DON'T have to add spacers BUT the wheels will look even more tucked in. Spacers help get the aggressive stance and push the wheel further out.
