Default Spacer size question for stock wheels

Hi Everyone, I have a 07 Z , I have 245 45 18's on the rear and 225 45 18's on the front (stock tire size) . What size and name brand spacers do you guys recommend? I would like for the tire sidewalls to come "pretty" close to the back fenders but not too close where I have to worry about rubbing on bumps ( I will be lowering it 1.5 inch in the future) and for the fronts the same but also be able to still freely steer without rubbing. I definitely don't want to roll the fenders.

pics (with stock 06-08 wheels) with spacer sizes and name brands much appreciated

Measure the distance between the edge of the tire and fender. How far do you want to move the tire? 10mm? 20mm? 30mm? There you go.

30 rear, 25 front if you don't mind rolling your rear fenders.

25 rear, 20 front is ok too but not as aggressive.

i have 20mm in front and 25mm in back. you may be able to go with 25mm all the way around without rolling but im not totally sure. Why wheels are "pretty flush" all the way around with my combo.

20 up front leaves room to go up to a 245/40 up front for better handling

Will the handling go bad if you put 30mm on the back and leave the stockie on the front?
Do you have to increase the spacer by the ratio of the stocks?
