i think they clear with something as small as a 10mm, but you could run like a 25 for the sake of fitment

the smallest ive ever heard anyone run was an 8mm, most people run 10-15, but you can run quite a large one if you wanted to...my wheels are 16x7.5 +22 and i wouldnt want an offset any higher

if you're planning on running 10mm spacers or less, you'll need extended lug nuts. Honestly, I dont trust 5mm spacers on stock studs.

But they do sell 15mm bolt ons, but yeah, like what Nismofly said, I'd go with 25 all around
