Which size spacers to use to make wheel flush to fender

Hello, I know this might be beating a dead horse, however I am needing help regarding what spacers I should put on my car to make the wheels flush to the fender. I am NOT lowered on anything, and if I do decide later, it might be just the Eibachs, which I believe is the least drop in springs offered for our vehicles.

I have 245/35/20 on all fours, with offset at 40. Wondering what you guys recommend regarding what size spacers to use. Thank you a lot in advance.

Stock offsets are about +47 front +50 rear if I recall correctly. The consensus seems to be that a +30 offset equivalent will be flush with the fenders without any rubbing. I would try a 10 or 15mm spacer on your car.

I just lowered my G37xS sedan with Swifts and installed 20mm spacers all around.
They are perfectly flush, so without lowering...go with a 15mm spacer.
I would suggest either H&R or B2AutoDesign Hub Centric DRM spacers.

Here is a couple of pics:

Depends how aggressive you want it! :P Try and measure 10mm out from where your wheel currently sits. If there's plenty of room left, get a 15mm spacer. If its flush, get the 10
