^WHS....
I'd go to a 15mm so that you can get into the c/w studs style.
IMO they are more mechanically sound than a spacer sandwich with long studs.
I had trouble with my 17" winters. The balance weights were rubbing on the calipers.
I just installed Ichiba V2; I think of them as more of a hub extender than a spacer.
The quality is exceptional.

If the caliper's already chipped, why now just grind it down a bit more for some clearance and use a bit of paint - or repaint the whole caliper.
I remember, back in the day, a bunch of people trying to install Skyline GTR brakes on a 300ZX all ground down the brake calipers to fit behind the stock Z wheels. Not sure why they didn't use spacers back then, but it's totally safe to grind down some of the caliper material.

, I would want to go with much more than 2mm clearance. Why not go to a 10 or 15mm spacer.
