Default Noob Question about wheel spacers

Okay so i have a bone stock ap2 s2000 and i want a little bit better stance and idk if this is a good idea or not so i figured i would ask the experts.

I just want to know if i can put wheel spacers in on the rear wheels to get them farther out than they are now, of course i would roll the fenders but i just want to know if this would work or if it is a totally horrible idea ha....again...noob question.

Check out this thread for a ton of info on that: https://www.s2ki.com/...ap2-oem-wheels/

I've done it myself and still have stock fenders.

These are what i am looking for for my rear wheels. Just so you guys can see it and tell me whether that is a good brand or not.
Also, would it look weird if i didnt get spacers for the front tires and 15mm for the rear?

H&R is high quality, no issue there. Personally I would go same size spacer all around or maybe 5mm bigger in rear, something like 15mm front and 20mm rear. Roll your fenders and call it a day.

If you are going to do it, get the spacers with the integrated studs. It is a PITA and costly to replace wheel studs. It requires the hubs to be removed, wheel bearing to be pressed out, studs swapped, and new wheel bearings pressed in (if you are going to do it might as well replace the wheel bearing)
