Default Wheel Spacers ( again ) Specifics please

Did some searching but everything is pretty old.

I want to put 20mm/25mm spacers on stock 19 inch Rays, with stock suspension. 3 questions:

1. Are these sizes okay, with no rubbing etc?

2. Should I go with Type 1 ( studded ) or Type 2 ? ( No tracking here )

3. Who makes the absolute best spacers, money is no object, I don't want anything cheaply made?

Thanks

Personally I have seen 20/20 on stock 19"s with the Z lowered an inch all around and it looks perfect to me.

I can't vouch on any of the other questions though so Im in for opinions.

You gotta seatch harder man. This has to be the #1 most asked question on the forum.

1. Yes they are ok but you might rub if lowered with 25mm in the rear unless you have negative camber. I would recommend 20mm F&R.
2. Type 1 is harder to install but safer than type 2 (use for tracking), which is very easy to install. (no tracking, some tracks will not let you if you have these!)
3. Project kics, H&R, Eibach are the best types and prices reflect that.

Type 1 are not that hard to install. Maybe takes a little more time. Look in the diy section
