15mm or 20mm Spacer? PICS

I am torn... 15mm or 20mm spacer for the rear? I just put on 20x10 XXR 502's in the rear and 20x8.5 up front. The offset is 35 all around.

Do you suggest 15 or 20mm in the rear? To me, it dosent look like the fronts need any spacer.

Thoughts? (and yes, I know to purchase the spacer with extended studs instead of the version II's)

Thanks in advance! Here are some pics to help a bit... PS, the car is stock height and I plan on keeping it like that because of the bumpy roads around here.

Try to get some head on shots of the car, it's too hard to judge how much you need to move the wheels out at these angles. We need to see the front-rear shots of the car, with a slight angle, if you know what I mean.

I think your fronts look fine, I would do back only.

If your going to keep stock ride height, I would go with the 15mm in the rear, if you lower it, then go with the 20mm. Here is a pic of mine with 20mm (stock rear is 19x10 +30 and 275/35/19) Also depends on what width tire your using.

now that u got ur 15mm, get a wider and bigger prof tire! with 30 it looks like you can fit 21" in there, and the stretching makes it look like a euro tuner.
