Default Rear brake shoe tolerance

I want to know the thickness tolerance for the rear brake shoes on a 2008 Civic LX. At what thickness do they call for a change?
Thanks!

Answering my own question, I found the figure 20mm as minimum. I have 150K on the original rear shoes and they are still within tolerance. The front pads are on their 4th set.

It sounds about right, the rear only do about 20% of the braking.
