Need wheel spacer recommendations

I have gram lights 18x9.5 +38 offset on all four corners with 255/285 rubber. I like to get rid of the unsightly gap. would a 10 mm spacer do the trick here.

i wouldn't run anything more then a 10mm or 8mm slip on.

Should help if your looking for roughly 1/2". Otherwise get wider tires

You can put 275s on a 9.5 may look a little blocky with those wheels however

Send a note to Rishie "ARD T2". He'll get you set up with what you'll need.

You could also just remove the shocks front and rear. Then reinstall the wheel with some washers or whatever to get an idea of what it COULD look like after you jack your tire up to ride height. Then just order a spacer to the thickness of your washers. This way you get the EXACT look you want. I just got done doing this because I wanted more of a flush look with my new wheel/tire combo.
