The Trak+ ones from H&R seem to be universally popular - have you decided what size you want?
I got a cheaper price from euro car parts if you do decide you want those

I fitted MTM spacers after buying them off a forum member. I'd fitted the 20" wheels and thought they looked great but had seen other cars on here with spacers fitted and couldn't resist trying them myself. I've got 15mm on the rear and 10mm on the front and I think it gives the stance that little bit extra. I've heard the rear end rub a couple of times when the boot is loaded and the I've hit a dip on a B road but that's probably due to me having 275's fitted.
They fill the arches much better with them fitted in my opinion, I can post some before and after pics if required.

That's useful to know Oil - looking at comparative specs on D2/D3 20s it should be the case that without spacers you have 7mm less clearance on the inside and the wheels stick out 5mm more on the outside, so with your spacers and 8.5" rims they'd sit 5mm further in than in your pics.
Sounds like there should be no rubbing issues with 20mm on the rear anyway

I'm intrigued now, I wonder why mine occasionally rub despite having only 15mm spacers on the rear? Could it be the extra tyre width (though I'm sure others have 275's on 20's?) or the shorter (by 40mm) springs? I've checked with a straight edge and they're close but shouldn't catch but it may be when the springs are compressed hard and it's the inner arch that's making contact with the tyre? They're 9J wheels so I assumed they're the correct fittest?

Standard d2 s8 spec 20s are 8.5" wide so yours are d3 a8 wheels if they're 9"
Even so Oil has his wider than yours so depends if its catching on inside or outside? Stock tyre size for 8.5 is 255/35
