Default Wheel spacers will work.
The size just depends on how much clearance you need. 5mm may do the trick. Remember, that may cause you to rub on the fenders. You will probably need to roll them.

Default Not if the problem is the offset of the wheel.
My stock 16s rubbed on the inside when I lowered my A4. The problem was the offset not the size of the wheel.
