Default Looking to run spacers....

As the title says, I want to run spacers but have some questions.
First, do I need to have fender work if I want to have spacers? If not, how bad will I rub?
Second, Whats the best size spacer to get?
And Third, Where do you buy spacers?
My car is lowered an inch on Eibach springs, and looking to run front and rear. Any input is great

Stalker lol I'm only kidding, well if the op is running ap2v1s and on stock suspension or lowering springs (1"-2" drop) then I'd suggest running 15mm or 17mm spacers on all four however you will need to roll rear fenders if going across big dips at intersections at the speed limit if you are lowered. I'm running 17mm on all fours with ap2v1s 225/255 tires,ground control sleeves and recently got my rear fenders rolled. I'll post pics of before I was lowered on suspension with the 17mm spacers so you can see the gap and "stance" it creates

Yeah I got stock ap2v1's with exactly the same specs as you ^^. I was kinda hoping to not roll fenders. Do you know how much it will cost to roll and how long it takes?

I am too lowered on the Eibach pro kit. The cheapest place to get spacers is racetechperformance.com . I ended up getting 20mm on all 4 corners. You will need to relocate the rear tab as it rubs just slightly on dips in the road. I rolled the fronts and rears to be safe but probably could of done without it. Part# for the 20mm is 4065700 for the fronts and the rears are part#4065640. If you want pictures let me know

I've got 20mm on the front and I've rubbed once hitting a dip in the road at stock suspension height and with ap2v3 wheels. It wasn't very bad of a rub and would probably be rare in most driving conditions. With the ride lowered 1-2 inches I could see it rubbing much more often. I went with H&R spacers with the integrated studs for easy install. Throwing on a set of spacers takes some planning.

Above are the 17mm spacers on stock suspension

This is were it sits on an inch and a half drop
I'm using the built in stud spacers that are hubcentric and can be found on ebay for a reasonable price
Without these, and lowered stock rims look sunken in and sickly lol
