I have a set of M68's that I will be putting a set of Cont DWS's with stock tire sizes which I believe on these were 225/45/17 and 245/40/17. I'm currently having a little rub issue on the inner sidewall of the front and want to clear that up with some spacers for the front and would love to bring the rears out fairly flush. They are sunk in a little more than I like.
My buddy who is a machinist said he would make them for me if I do some paint correction on his car so I have the choice of litter when it comes to sizes. Now i've heard most people running 15mm spacers and someone even ran a 25mm with these wheels in the rear. My question is since I do not have my fenders rolled whats a decently safe spacer I can run with my current height and not have to fret about rubbing. I have a friend who can roll them if necessary but I was hoping to avoid having to do that.
Here is a picture of the wheels and ride height I'm currently running.

Here are some pics with pics showing the 20mm vs 25mm.

Again what would be a good spacer size for this setup? Is it worth it to go ahead and just roll my fenders? I'm thinking around a 20mm but would rather not have to raise the car up anymore if I don't need to.
Thanks guys
