Wheel Spacers for square setup?

I got a set of BBS RK but I'm not very fond of the fitment.

The specs are 18x8.5 ET38 all around wrapped in 225/40/R18 Contis

I'm thinking of buying a set of spacers but I'm not sure of the size I should go.

Any ideas?

Remember to get bolts.

What about up front?

I'll try to get a clearer image.

lol I'd be less fond of my car looking like it got backed into by a trash truck, but to each his own.

Those tires are thin as hell. What kinda camber you got up front?

I would do at least 10mm up front and you could prob get away with a 20mm in the rear with minimal, if any, effort.

OP, I would suggest 12mm spacers up front, and 15mm spacers in the rear. As another enthusiast mentioned, be sure to purchase the proper length extended lug bolts for each axle, or a 90mm extended stud kit for proper mounting/install.
