Im on 18x8.5J wheels all around and I would like to put 10mm spacers at the rear to get them out a bit. What I would like to ask is, will that affect the geometry of the car? On staggered wheels, the tires are exactly in the middle of each end of the axle even if they differ in width, with spacers though its like having a wider rear axle by 2cm's. Please advise. Thanks. ;)

Well I ran 15mm spacers on the rear of my old wheels (non staggered mind you) to make them sit more flush with the rear fenders to "look" wider!
but I dont see any issues by using them with already staggered rear wheels. you are just pushing the wheel out to fill the wheel well more. although you would think with a staggered set up they would already be "filling" the wheel well up?
I see no problems with using spacers, as long as they are hubcentric and you are using longer wheel bolts to compensate for the wheel spacer thickness.

Where is the cheapest place I can get some 15mm spacers?

Bekkers has 10, 15 and 20mm hubcentric spacers for $60 for a set of two. There might be more places to buy them if you look around.
