Default wheel spacers?

I was thinking about putting some wheel spacers on my stock 04' 17's, i think they would look better if they were flush with the fender. Anybody else do this yet? if so what size spacers, i was thinking maybe around 8 mm front and 15mm rear?

any comments?

Bear in mind by doing so, you're increasing the tire track and minimizing the natural
stagger that Honda designed for the '04. Depending on your driving style, this may or
may not be important.

Yea i understand that it changes the natural stagger that honda put on, but it's no different than adding aftermarket wheels with different offsets than stock.

The car handles great and i don't think a few Millimeters is going to greatly affect it, this car is just for driving, don't have much time to get to the track these days, i'm lucky if i get to drive my car. Seems like theres always something going on.
