Another Spacer threat

Another Spacer thread
Before anyone asks me to search, I have searched as many threads as I could and I have read various things. Right now I have my winter set up on my car so I cannot measure the wheel to fender gap for the stock 19 inch rays. I want to get spacers to put on with the stock rays when I put them back on.
I was initially going to go with 20mm for the front and 25mm for the back (seems to be common) but all of the local shops seem to no longer have 25mm in stock. I am wondering if anyone is running 30mm spacers on the back at stock height with a stock tires size(245/40/19) and have no rubbing issues without rolling fenders.
If I have to roll my fenders I will but I would rather not have to do that. I have a previous car where I rolled the fenders and I noticed it was the first area to rust. I am not sure if the roll makes it easier for water to sit in the area under the fender or something.

I don't plan on lowering the car because I drive it in the winter. Just trying to figure out if it will rub at stock height. If it will rub with the car lowered without adjusting the camber then it means it will also rub at stock height over big bumps. Need to know if 30mm spacers will still clear the fenders at stock height and camber on a big bump when the suspension is compressed and the top of the tire goes beyond the stock fender gap

I'll check with a friend
He ran 25/30 I believe with a drop but he may be able to shed some insight on the figment pre-drop

Thanks for the input guys. I am in Toronto, Canada so I need to find something local. Shipping on spacers to Canada is ridiculous. I might just go with the 30mm and get my fenders rolled if I have to. My friend owns a body shop so ill just make sure I rust proof the fenders if I have to roll them.
My biggest concern is rust after the roll.

lol. I am not unwilling to order what will work. I just wanted to find out if 30mm will also work without issue. I actually want the wheels as flush as I can get them without rubbing so I actually was hoping 30mm would be good as well.
