35mm in the front and 45mm in the rear to look as nice.

BTW, those are the sizes for spacers, not offsets.
That is how bad the stock wheel fitment is.

I only tried to tell you what sizes you need to have for that flush-to-the-fender look. You probably need CUSTOM-MADE SPACERS for those sizes, but I'd rather get new wheels instead.

I used to run spacers when i had stock wheels.
H&R 15mm/front and 25mm/rear were the sizes I used.
I later used KICS 20mm/front and 30mm/rear.

When members PM me for spacer info, I will only recommend 15/25 or 20/30.
