Help with spacers

I have MSR 065 wheels that are 18x7.5 and I was wondering what spacers would make the front and back hella flush with no rub. thanks

what is your offset on those? We've always said there's no for sure way to do this. Being "hellaflush" is your own opinion, how I see it may be different than how you see it, rubbing depends on your entire setup, what suspension stuff you have and wheel size. But judging by a 7.5 MSR wheel you're gonna need a HUGE spacer to make this happen, and if you do that you're definitely gonna need ARP longer studs. We have a while thread with all our cars that's considered "flush" with our specs and setups, use that as an example. The official OCC Stanced thread under wheels and tires.

+38 on a 7.5 rim I'm gonna say you're gonna need at least a 10mm spacer to be anything flush. How low are you? @ 10mm spacer you're gonna need studs.
