Wheel spacer question

Hey guys Im thinking of adding some spacers to my setup this summer and needed some help.

My wheels are Front 22 x 9.0 / Rear 22 x 10.5 & Offset - Front +35 / Rear +40 with Centerbore to fit - 66.56mm.

I also bought ghostlink lowering links along with some cross drilled rotors from R1.

All this will be installed once the weather gets better. My question is, what size spacer and lug bolts do I need to achieve a look where the tires are flush with the fender? I'll be running 235 fronts and 295 rears. I want to get a look like the picture i've attached. The tires fill up the wheel well very nicely and I love that stance.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!

I suggest you put the wheels,and lower it at your desire height.Then see how much room you have to work with. If you use for example 10mm spacers. You'll need another set of bolt that are 10mm longer than whatever bolts that are used now on the new wheels.

Btw. I would run a 245 instead of a 235. Some even run 255's for the fronts.

My last set came mounted on 235's I figured that would be common for 22's

After researching I see some people use 10mm front and 5mm rear spacers. I think that should suffice.

My last set of wheels was 32/45 offset and the current ones are 35/40. Does that mean the fronts will stick in 3mm more and the backs will be 5mm further out when compared to my last set?
