Default Wheels after drop

Im going to be dropping my car soon but need some opinions. I have tsw trackstar 5 wheels with these specs 18x8 offset 40. I see alot of people say to people who are lowered oh you need spacers or your fenders dont look god with your wheels. So before i go ahead and lower my car i would like to know what mm spacers you would use on my car.

You're honestly going to need a big spacer LOL. You'd have to be in the 10s or lower for flush and depending on your offsets IMO

Are you AWD? How come you got 18x8 +40 all around??

Your sizes and offsets will sink in, A LOT. Depending on what tire sizes you have will determine how much lower you can have your offsets. Lets say you put a 25mm spacer in the rear like Mv350 says, that means it's 40-25=??? You got it, 15, hence in the 10s. But if you have a meaty tire then that offset might not be possible. Resulting in you changing out your tires to stretch them a bit.
