I installed 12mm (f) and 18mm (r), and that package looks pretty aggressive. If I did it all over, I would probably go with just a tad less. Maybe 10mm & 15mm.
BUT, that is with a 19"x8.5" ET25 wheel from Achtuning.com (RS5 5 spoke "Rotor wheels"). I also have H&R OE Sport Springs installed. Best to use an online calculator to determine how much *true* spacing you will get as the width and ET of your wheel package will affect it (greatly). I put together a quick Excel spreadsheet so I could enter the wheel width, ET, and spacer width to give me an exact number of how much more the wheel will stick out as compared to stock. I'm an Excel geek.
Here are some before/after pictures of the rears, I did the fronts a little later and didn't remember to take pics. Hopefully these pics will show up this time:

15 Front 20 Rear
Hello!
See before and after photos, I always use ECS tuning spacers, seem to treat me well.
Fronts are 15mm, Rear are 20mm. I would say the spacers make it look astronomically better. (I of course took the photos before I finished the debadging process... but that'l do.)

Below are all the "Afters"
Definitely worth the money, were about $130 for each set with lugs.
