Just get 10mm one, that should be enough to push the wheels out to sit semi-flush with fender. I think 15mm might work also, but don't quote me on it

I am lowered on KWv2 coilovers and there is about 1/4" gap between the fender and tire, in which I took some measurements and you look to be safe with 15mm spacers on the stock wheels.

I personally would get the car lowered first, let it settle a good week, then take some measurements and go from there. Better to be safe than sorry!
