The OEM AP1V1 & V2 wheels have indentations in them so they don't need to be flush. As for the V3's I don't think you can run those Ichiba's; instead you would need to get extended studs or go with 25mm spacers.

Looking to go 15mm spacers all around. I'm pretty sure I got the spacer size correct, but want confirmation.
15MM 12x1.50 5X114 64.1 for the rear
15MM 12x1.50 5x114 70.1 for the front?

Ok, I wanted to state something that has been repeated multiple times here for those that don't wanna go through all pages like I did. This topic is a good reference, but
Every car will have different natural camber lowered or not,
Not everyone will be the same height,
And rubbing will depend alot on whether the fenders are rolled front and rear, if the front liner is trimmed, and if the rear bumper and tab are relocated.
I did 20mm front and rear. I did roll my rear and tried to keep the bumper tab but I am running a 255 tire and it would make contact on big bumps so I relocated it.
The front has 20mm with 225 tire, I didnt roll the fenders but I trimmed the fender tabs so that the fender lip was consistently thick front one side to another, NOT ROLLED. However I did trim the liner and left one clip on each end of the liner, the top two are trimmed out as far as the flat part of the liner.
I am lowered using AP2 struts with skunk 2 lowerinf springs running -2.8 camber in the rear and about -1 up front and the fender lip just BARELY catches the top of the sidewall of the tire. I will NOT roll my fronts I am just going to bring the camber in 1/2 negative to -1.5 front and it will sit flush with zero rubbing of the fender.
My suggestion for anyone who doesn't wanna roll rear or front is dont space out the wheels and you won't have any issue! If you do then it will be expected to rub depending on how wide you go and how low.
Onto the pictures for reference

^Hard to tell from the angle, are you lowered? What suspension/spring and by how much?
