need spacer advice!

I am having my BC coils installed next week and down want to look like a fool with my stockers tucked. So I ask! What size spacers should I go with front and back? My car is an X with 17s. I am dropping so there is no finger gap but not tucking any tire (for now). I don't want to go to crazy with the spacers so that im rubbing. This will be my first experience with a lowered car and don't want to go super aggressive and mess it up off the bat. So I want to be pretty flush with around -1 to -1.5 camber all around with the rear camber kits.. I have heard I need hubcentric but Im not sure exactly what I need. Any help will be appreciated.

Can't tell you exactly but your best bet would be to drop your car to the desired height then just measure how many more mm's you want your wheels to be out.

edit: If I had my jack on me I'd swap on my oem 17s that I use for the winter real quickly to give you an estimate but I don't have it on me right now.

A no finger gap in the front without the camber arms will get you closer to -2 degrees on your front camber
