Even tyres of the same actual width can be a different shape (some are more square, others more round) so it's not by any means guaranteed that you can run the same spacers as the next guy if you have different tyres. The only way to be sure that you won't have rubbing issues is to copy identical setups.
I guess you have to measure your own car, from wheel arch to the tyre and go with a spacer to fit inside this measurement. It seems a bit of a faff, does it look a lot better?
