Default fenderwell rubbing on my eg... wheelspacers?

i just got this sweet eg.... and im putting gsr suspension into it as well as the b18 c over the winter. when i took the wheels off i noticed some rubbing on the inside of the fenderwell when the car was turning at full lock. the cars not that low and i love the way it looks how its sits now...it couldnt be so bad because i didnt notice it at all on the drive home from picking it up but there is some amount of contact. because of this and because it looks sick id like to put some wheel spacers in, whether it be h&r or another company. my question is will this affect my cars handling at all? and what size should i use on my eg to bring the wheels out nicely to the edge of my fender wells?(almost to the edge)... mind i dont have my fenders rolled and plan on keeping my front fender liners intact. anyone whos done this before let me know what you used! ill be using a 205 50 15 tire on a 15 x 6.5 wheel with a +40 offset

if its barely rubbing on a full turn i really wouldnt worry about it too much
spacers arent worth it and u dont need to roll your fenders

205s may rub at full lock. Wheel spacers arent worth it. Dont worry you shouldnt be taking full lock at any speed so youll be fine just deal with it...
