Default Best place to get "proper" wheel spacers from?

I.e, the ones that bolt up, rather than just sit on original studs. like these....

the eibach ones are excellent quality and not a bad price from Demon Tweeks for a change - about £70 a pair in alloy, hubcentric and they bolt to the exisiting studs and the the wheel then bolts onto the spacer

Just phoned chris, Really helpful chap.

I originally had 205/40/16's on my car, with an ET15 offset, and they used to JUST clear the rear arches.

Ive now got 205/40/17's, with and ET45 offset. If i used 25mm spacers that would give me an offset of et20. Would they rub?
