Spacers Help..

I want to get the flush look on my car but i just dont know which spacers to get. I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I have a set of BE BY Breyton wheels. I bought the car with the wheels so i dont even know if it has offset.. 225/45/18 Yokohama tires all around. Right now it sits on Teins H-techs. The front tire is about 1" inside the fender and about 1/2" the rear. Heres what it looks like...

this is the rear

Of course your wheels have an offset, they all do unless its zero and even then its a zero offset.

It really isnt that hard to figure out what size spacers you need, just measure it out, 1 inch is 25mm so if its half an inch its 12.5 and so on.
Anyway looks to me like you probably need about 10mm all around, maybe 8 in the back. Unless you want the wheels to be poking out then just increase it.

Yours wheel look like about a +35 offset. Personally after looking at them I would go a 25mm. But if you remove the wheel the offset should be on the back of the wheel (ET35 for example).

If you notice, I said 1" front and 1/2" rear from the fender to the tire. But, you guys have more experience with spacers because you have used them. I haven't so I don't know which size to buy..

I'm not good at guessing, so I'd look for the wheel specs somewhere on the back side of the wheel. Then we can help you. PS: If wheels are same size/offset all around, it's not usually a 13mm difference front to back on flushness.
