Hmm, I'd say probably 20mm in the front and 30mm in the rear.

It really depends on what you consider flush... but anywhere from 15-20 mm spacers would do. With that thick of a spacer, don't think you'll be running 245's or something though.

iirc, those wheel specs are 17x9 +20 with like 215/45/17's. I should know, I bought a pair of tires a year ago from him, lol.

Go for the 20mm all around. You'll be much happier with the flushness.

I doubt 5 mm is going to be all to noticeable.That being said, go with 20.And don't forget the new wheel studs.
