EP3 Spacers for 17" OEM Wheels

I will be re-doing the ride height of my car over the weekend and getting the geo done sometime next week, so before I do that I was wondering what spacer size would be ideal on the stock wheels. The front's don't seem too bad, but the rears definitely need to be pushed out.

I found an old thread on the matter however it would have been an epic necro so I decided to make a new one. This is what was recommended on there:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eibach-P...-fit-Civic-Type-R-EP3-2001-2006-/161270292976

Is this still the case? What size for front and back? Car will be lowered by 35mm all around most likely, as currently it is at least 50 and sits far too low imo.

Cheers!
 
I'd say 5mm max on normal spacers, any more and you'd need hubcentric ones like you linked to. 10-15mm would be ideal without causing rubbing issues. Either that, or get some 8" wheels with an offset around ET50.

Getting new wheels is out of the question at the moment as these have just been freshly refurbed and have brand new tires, so I guess 15mm hubcentric would be the way to go. Is this 15mm all around or just the rear?
 
I'd do all round to keep that same track front and rear. I think 10mm would be fine though.
 
You have to remove the hub to get them on. H&R are as good if not better than Eibach. You should fine with 15mm.
