Default Spacing for Stock 17 Inch

I currently have 19's (19x8.5) on my GS 400, which it came with, and I was wondering what size spacers I should get when I switch to Stock 17x8 Rims. I want it to be near flush, but still keep the wheels within the wheel wells to prevent rubbing. When I first got the car it was completely Flush, but the rears started rubbing so I had to replace them with thinner rims (They were originally 9.5 in the back, which is why I have 8.5 all around now)

You should have tried narrower tires in the rears if they were rubbing on the (9.5's). You should have tried 235s, it may have been cheaper than buying new wheels. That way you could be flush still.
