Spacers with stock wheels & 225 front tires

I want to get some spacers for my stock front wheels, but I'm not sure what the largest I can go without rubbing. I know that you can run 18mm spacers up front with the stock 215/40/18 tires. Is anyone running 12mm spacers with 225's?

We've got a great DIY that shows you how to measure up which size you need, as well as how to install them right here:

The best way to make sure is measure the gap between the outer edge of the tire and inner edge of the fender. That will determine how big you can go:

^ Thank you! I'm have Hankooks too. I was debating between the 10 and 12mm spacers. I measured and it seemed like the 12mm would fit. I think I'm gunna go with those.
