Default new car need help with rims?

ok just bought this, but it is in need of some serious spacers! im new to spacers so can anyone tell about what size spacer would be used for this setup? i like the rim style (will prob powdercoat gunmetal) so without buying a new rim setup, is there any perticular spacer that would seem to fit this?
by the way older pics, headlight covers=gone and panel covers=melted! ha ha

Its hard to eyeball. If you could tell us the wheel specs (width, offset) and tire specs, we'd be able to help you better.

Just eyeballing I would say 20mm front and 25mm rear.

Pull the wheels off and look for details like Thermal1 said. Need to know full wheel details, i.e. 19x9 +30 front and 19x9.5 +28 rear, or the like. Look for a sticker or an engraving on the back side of the spokes.

The original owner had bad taste in body mods, but good taste in tires!

How far do you want to move the tires? 10 mm? 20 mm? 30 mm? There you go.

No. Not even Superman can eyeball a difference of 5mm from a computer screen and a zoomed out picture. Get out your measuring tape.
