Wheel spacer size suggestions?
I have a lowered '99 c2 with:
Front: 18x7.5 et50 with 225/40 tires
Rear: 18x10 et65 with 265/35 tires
The car was lowered by the previous owner but I don't know by how much. All I know is that it isn't H&R.
Attached are pics that may help. I'd like to get the "fullest" look possible without them sticking out looking like a ghetto vw. Help would be appreciated!

15mm at the rear only. Good luck. FYI, I am fairly sure you may require longer lug bolts (stock +15mm)

So should i go lower like 7mm in the front?
I should add that I have the gt3 alignment specs. I don't know anything about camber etc. but maybe someone will chime in on how this will affect the spacers.
I'm tempted to try 18mm in the rear.

I would suggest going with the 7 mm in the front and 15 mm in the back, I'm not sure if 18 mm will fit with out any issues. I would also suggest getting an alignment after you put the spacers on. For more information on our H&R spacers Click Here

Does doing this give it a meaner (wider) stance closer to a WB or is it just dumb to do?

Update: I just ordered 7mm fronts and 18mm rears from Junior at Adaptec (a fantastic guy!).
18mm will probably be too much but I'd rather start wide and make my way down to get the perfect look.
If it's too much or looks dumb I'll just go with 15mm but I'm counting on my 265/35 tire to pull it off.
They should be here by the end of the week, pics to come!
Meanwhile, here pics of user porsch3's setup to get an idea of what it might look like:
