spacer help
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 a second gen 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.

Things to consider before dropping $250 on spacers.
A) How agressive are you going to go once you get wheels?
B) Are you planning to roll/pich your fenders?
C) How soon until you get wheels?
Definatly get hubcentric, they are milled for your hub and center on the hub to help prevent vibarations.

I have 1st gen rwd sedan.
I wanted max. drop for daily driver ground clearance and flush, shouldered tires/wheel with no rubbing.
The stock 17's with 7" wheel had +45 offset and needed to spread F and R to get shouldered.
The tires were 235-50.
When I dropped 2 1/2" on those 17's I used 20mm Front spacer and 25mm rear and the tire rubbed in the rears to the fender flanges. Must be hubcentric.
I got what I wanted, money on the fitment.
Tires tucked my negative camber was 1 1/2 degF & 2 3/4 deg R.
The rear fender flanges had to be rolled flat to eliminate the rubs.
Seriously planning a refit of the coilovers to raise the dropped to 2" to get the rocker panels out of scrapes in parking deck angular ramps and steep speed bumps. (1/2" higher)
