Default Wheel spacer questions

I just finished over the weekend the KW v2 install. I have the car sitting about an inch lower than stock in the front and about .75" in the rear. On the front my wheels have about 3/16" from the rim to the coilover. I want to space them out for obviously clearance issues, but also to aid in the lowered look.

My wheels are 8.5" in width with 225/40/18 rubber on it. I want to space out the rims as far as possible for strut clearance & fender clearance. I was thinking of 12.5mm in the front & 20mm in the rear. Does anyone see an issue going this route? Also does anyone know what size rubber I can go to on an 8.5" rim? Any particular brand spacer I should go with/avoid?

Thanks!

Default what is the offset of your wheels?

that will really dictate what you can and can't do with respect to spacers and tires.

Default Would this work?

I measure 1/2" or 12.7 mm in the fron from the edge of the wheel to the edge of the wheelwell. Cant I just use a 12mm spacer to offset the wheel that exact distance?
