10mm or 15mm Spacers for rear?

Hi all, I searched the forum and wasn't able to find any pics of before and after with spacers. I plan on getting rear spacers to push out the oem 18" (stock height) for a cleaner look. I read a few threads that members have done it but couldn't find any pics. It'd be great if you guys have pics of oem wheels with spacers or offset equivalent to et39 or et34 with 8.5" rear. Is it worth really worth the extra bucks on a non-lowered car? TIA

Only MBs - the best or nothing
For fender flush look with OEM wheels, I used 15mm front spacers for et30 with stock 18x8 wheels and 20mm rear spacers for et29 with 18x8.5 stock wheels.
