Default Question about spacers and stock wheels

I am trying to get ready for ZDAYZ and on my list is:
Exhaust--(Which I have in the workings)
NOS kit-- for a little power (Which I think Im buying off a friend that has never used it)
Audio Upgrade
TE37 wheels.

Heres the thing, Im thinking I might not get the wheels in time to have them on and ready. SO, Im thinking I could get some wheel spacers for the stock 06 wheels that I have Painted Black. My question is I have no idea what im looking for. I do know I want the wheels to look flush. I hate how the wheels look sunk into the car. I just want it to look aggressive and fill in (OR OUT). What size spacers should I be looking for? Any help would be awesome. Also if there is a thread I could look for LMK, I didnt know what to type into the serach engine.

Look in wheels and tires. Type in "spacers stock wheels". That should net you some answers.

If you want an easier answer......I think 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers would probably work.

For whatever it's worth (and it's my opinion, so not worth much at all), I like the look of stock wheels with spacers (especially 2006+ stock wheels) from the front/side angles, but I've always thought it looks weird from the rear. What looks weird about it is that the wheels/tires haven't gotten any wider, but they're pushed out farther, so now you have these "skinny" tires pushed way out. I dunno...it's strange.

Ditch the NOS kit, ditch the audio, well audio is kinda nice, just get a quality head unit, scratch buying spacers ($250 extra in pocket now) and buy your wheels.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions.. oh the hell with it.
