Spacers with Stock Suspension
I'll start off by saying that yes, I did search and all the results yielded cars that were already dropped or sedans on stock suspension. I have stock 19s with stock suspension looking to add a bit of aggressive stance to the car. Seems 20/25mm is the best setup but it seems a bit excessive and something that would best suit cars that are dropped. Any recommendations? I was leaning around 15mm all around even on staggered wheels? Pics would be appreciated as well.

15mm will "work" all the way around. In my opinion its about taste from 15mm down.
As one poster stated I think 15mm rear is perfect on stock wheels and tires. I would go with no more than 10mm front.
if you go spacers I would really recommend a drop. i think that spacers on the stock setup accentuates the front wheel gap a lot more.

So I went ahead and purchased 15mm spacers all around (B2 auto designs doesn't make a 10mm spacer for their version 2 series). I'm hoping this should significantly improve the look of the car, will post pics once it gets nicer out and I install the summer wheels.

I really hope 10mm all around gives me the look i'm looking for. Wish someone could post a picture of their car with 245/275 tires and stock suspension with 10mm spacers all around.

Project Kiks has a 10mm hubcentric spacer with built in studs. I'm going with 10mm all around on my car with 245/275 tires on stock suspension.

I think 20mm F is perfect, maybe 30mm R would do it with the installed wheels. This is a squared setup.

20f/25r here, really felt it was too aggressive visually initially but now I like it. I will say from a performance standpoint, I think 20mm up front is pushing it. I did notice a difference in initial steering sensitivity at higher speeds but I've adjusted.
Personally, from a safety standpoint, I'd probably go with spacers that utilize longer studs as opposed to two sets of studs. You'll have to pull off your wheels to make sure the inner nuts are torqued to spec and they could, theoretically, become loose enough to cause catastrophic failure. It's unlikely but definitely crosses my mind as I hurl down the highway at 70+mph. Very easy to just whip out the torque wrench and check a one-stud spacer setup. Yeah, initially it's a PITA to install but long term piece of mind is probably worth it.
