Default Wheel spacers, hubcentric...by how much??

My car is currently running 17" rs softline alloys with r888 tyres 205/40/17.The car is lowered on koni shocks and springs, Have noticed it rubs on full lock and has started cutting into my tyres.What are the best size spacers to run? Pref those hubcentric type. Seen some 15mm but worried this may be to much??

i would have thought 15 mm would be too much the best bet is to measure from the edge of your whhel to the edge of your arch lip to see how much room you have allthough i think with 17 softlines you are going to get rub on full lock anyway as the offset is not really ideal for an rs turbo
