Default Spacer setup on aftermarket rims with crappy offset?

Alright I know, why dont I just buy rims with correct offset? The rims I want are 19 x 8, 30mm in front and 19 x 9.5, 25mm in rear. What would be a good size of spacers on stock height to run with without rolling fenders or rubbing issues? Or will the rims sizes be ok without spacers? So if this is how it works if I was to get 8mm front and 5mm rear spacers, with the rims specs as stated above my offsets would result in a actual 22mm front and 20mm rear? I read the spacer sticky but just to confirm and any opinions of people that actually done this if I was to get 8 & 5mm spacers in front & rear, do I need to get the spacers that require extended studs? Can I buy the spacers that you just mount between the hub and rim without extended studs?

Get a measuring tape. How far do you want to move the wheels? 10 mm? 20 mm? 30 mm. There you go.

just get the 9.5's front and rear, the just add a 10mm spacer for just the rear. Or contact wheeldude and get good/cheap wheels that actually fit.

Unless you are getting a very good deal that you can't pass up on these wheels I would wait on a set with the proper offsets.

when i had crappy offset( basically same as yours) i used 20mm spacer f&b no rubing, but for awhile i had no spacers and here's a picture of what it looked like (front 19x8 30mm rear 19x10 30mm), but my opinion with the extra money you'll spend on spacers, get some better offset wheels
or do what terrasmak said
