Default Need help with spacer size. Got 9.5/10.5" wheels with diff offsets

So this is what I've got:

2005 a/t Touring Z that came with stock 17's. I replaced the 17's with 18 inch Enkie RPF1 wheels.

The front wheels are 18x9.5 with a 40mm offset and 245/40/18 tires.
The rear wheels are 18x10.5 with a 15mm offset and 275/40/18 tires.

I love the way the back looks as it sits flush with the fender for a very aggressive look. However, the front wheels sit inside the fender slightly and I want them to sit flush with the fender. I'm confused as to which size spacer I will need for the front? Also, I'de like to get spacers that come with long enough studs

Welcome. How far do you want to move the tire? 10 mm? 20 mm? 30 mm?

I would go with at least a 25mm or a 30 in my opinion but it all depends how low your car is
and your taste....

my car is at stock height. I just want the wheels to be flush with the fender. I guess what Im asking is what would be needed to make that happen? I don't want the front sticking out further then the rears.

15mm, 20mm, 25mm....

I don't need spacers on the back

You have the car to check - I do not. I would measure the distance between the tire and inside fender. See how much room I have for spacers.
