Default Size of spacer needed?

I been looking into getting some spacers but im not sure the size spacer i would need. First off, i am running volk te37 18's 8.5 +30 front, 9.5 +35 rear. I want the nice flush look. and another thing i would be interested in, if anyone has any idea where to get, are the gunmetal volk te37 plain centercaps.


thanks
loui

20 mm all around should be nice and flush, but may limit what size tire you can run. You may have to roll the rears. maybe just a 10mm for the rear for a good look but to avoid rolling/rubing

are you lowered?

Just take a look at the car. How far do you want to move the wheels? 10mm? 20mm?

from the looks of your wheel gap, I don't think you'd want to go more than 15mm front and 20mm rear before it starts to rub. I have 20mm H&R all the way around with the G35c's 19, and the front is perfectly flush with the fender, and the rear could use another 5mm -- but those wheels are pushed in a little more than your Volks, with 30F/32R offset I believe.

Here's a picture so you get an idea of what 20mm spacers look like on stock wheels. Mine is the blue Z. Before the 20mm spacer, the wheels are pushed in like the red Z infront of it.
