Sedan - 15mm or 20mm spacers with OEM Sport 18's?

Looking for some clarification as to which would be the preferred spacer size to run with the OEM Sport 18's (18x7.5 +45).

Tire size will be OEM also, 235/45-18. Car is currently lowered on OEM 350Z, but springs will soon be swapped out for Sedan H&R Sport.

Thanks.

As far as I know, my rear camber is in spec. But, I've only managed to rub under EXTREME loads (on the track). I'm also running a 245/40/18 tire all around. My fenders are getting rolled tomorrow.

Oh, I didn't know that. I'm talking about 03/04 stock 5-spokes, sorry.

25' is just too too unrealistic.

would 25mm spacers be too much? Rubbing issues front and/or rear with camber in-spec, lowered about 1.5"?
