what spacer do i need

I have the mazdaspeed wheels 18x8 et 40.

Working out i think i need 22m on the rear and 18mm spacers on the front to be sitting pretty much before with the arches, can anyone confirm or deny this

the wheel with the appropriate offset is ideally what you want to do..

if you -have- to go with spacers make sure they are hubcentric.
