Project Kics Spacers on stock rims

I'll be lowering my FD on Tein S-Techs next week on stock R1 shocks. I'm on stock wheels 245 width and I want to fill in the wheel gap as much as possible. I want it to be as flush as possible without rubbing, and leave a little room for bigger tires possibly in the rear in the future (that's if wider will fit which I doubt on stock rims). I don't plan on rolling the fenders for now.

What size spacers would work best? Would 30mm in the rear fit nicely? What about the front? Also do I need the hubcentric rings?

Oh yeah, and I don't want to run a lot of camber just to clear the tires.

I have found the best way to measure for spacers is to buy washers from the Hardware store (Homo Depot or Lowes). then stack them up on all 5 studs , bolt the wheel on... lower car back on ground... roll car back and forth to "relax" the suspension... if you like the look then measure the stack of washers... if you dont then add or subtract washers as needed until you get what your looking for... make sure that the lugs are engaging at least half the threads to bare the wieght of the car

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR USING WASHERS AS SPACERS>>> YOU WOULD BE A FOOL FOR DOING SO
