You'll need at least 20mm spacers in front to clear the stock springs. You'll also most likely have to roll the inner lip of the fender a bit to prevent slight rubbing, but DAMN will it be flush

In the rear's you could go up to a 25mm spacer to get it about flush with the rear fenders.

I have spacers and FD wheels on my TII and my fronts rub on the inner lip under hard corners, I would reccomend you roll the lip before you cut a tire

First, if you have 25mm spacers, then you will stick out a bit farther into the fender. With 20mm spacers, it will barely rub in most cases. Depends on tire and alignment settings as well though.
