running spacers causes vibrations that you won't feel, but the bearings and every rotating thing will feel it and wear from it. everytime u take ur wheel off and back on, it adjusts it and throws the balance off once again.

Some track experience with spacers on. Again, 20mm rear, 15mm front. New alignment at -2.8 camber rear, and -2.6 camber front. I could go 20mm up front too, you can see that there is room to spare. Even with a good amount of suspension travel I have almost no rubbing (but there was a slight amount in the rear on hard corners). Fenders rolled, bumper tabs relocated and trimmed, rear bumper trimmed. I'm not really sure where it's rubbing - there are no marks at all which probably means it's very minor. This is on Advan AD07 255's. They are MEATY tires. My 255 Sumi's didn't rub at ALL and I had to do a lot more trimming when I put the Advans on...
Also, my buddy with factory suspension on 20mm/15mm:

It looks like the yellow s2 at the autocross was also running spacers with ap2v1. Cool pics and good looking cars.
I recently installed 15mm in the rear and 5mm up front with ap2v1 rear wheels all around. Will post up when I get a camera and learn how to upload pictures haha.

After reading this whole thread I got the following... Please correct me if I am wrong or just say "WRONG" and I'll re-read lol...
AP2 V1 + 15mm spacers all around with TeinS springs and 215/255 will work just fine with out fender moods. YES OR NO
AP2 V3 will not work with 15mm spacers because they have shallow dips unlike the V1s. YES OR NO
