Q for those with FD wheels setup

I have a simple question for those that have FD3S wheels on their FC. I'm buying the wheels in a couple days, I just need to make sure or get a secondary opinion that I'm getting the right wheel spacer, and if there are other choices out there. My current wheels are stock GXL wheels, 15"x6". After reading numerous posts, I'm thinking I need 20-25mm front spacers (about 1") to get the FD wheels (16"x8") to fit (please correct me if I'm wrong!), they look like this pretty much:



Thing is I can't find any other choices for where to buy wheel spacers for my FC, right now I'm stuck with ebay the only option. What ones are you all using for your FD wheels, i.e. what brand and how wide are they. I really want to get the right ones, and not throw away money by getting the wrong spacers the first time around. Thanks, I really really appreciate this.

I'm pretty sure you only need the spacers for the front, the rears should be fine.

you do need rear spacers by the way, they will fit but be way to far into the car.
