Question help with wheel spacers & sizing and tires for volk GT-C

ok correct me if i am wrong, need a little advice...time is of the essence
'04 6MT 18" OEM all around with 30mm offsets (i think)

just got a set of 19x8.5 +38
and 19x9.5 +37
volk GT-C's
got em for free so i can't complain about the size

if i go with H&R trak plus spacers i can extend the studs and use a hubcentric spacer... if i go with a 10mm spacer front would be at 28 and rear 27 correct?
and if i use a 15mm spacer it would be 23 front and 22 rear....
which of you guys have experience with a similar setup and what size spacer would you recommend.... 10 or 15?

also any suggestions where to order them online?
tire sizes?
im leaning toward 245 40 up front and 275 40 in the rear

If you don't know what offset you have why would you be asking about
spacers? Then if you add spacers with an unknown offset how do you
expect to get a answer on tiresize? Get the correct information prior to
posting your questions........and by the way don't use spacers if you don't
need to!!

read my post and take a second to think.....as i posted my offsets for the new wheels are 38 and 37 for the front and rear respectively.....my question was directed to the members on the forum and wanted to know their opinion on which spacers would be better 10 or 15 mm.....the part regarding 30 or 35mm offsets is in reference to the OEM 18" wheels....does anyone know the exact specs? are they 30 or 35mm offset. So before you get all excited about flaming me for not posting correct or unknown information, learn how to read a post thoroughly before you make youself out to be the A$$.

PS- tire size is also directed and the fact that they are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels.... although spacers whould push the entire wheel closer to the outside fender i would like to see what sizes members chose on their rides.

Those offsets are very high. I would go with 20mm or 25mm bolt on spacers, make sure they are hubcentric and wheelcentric. 8.5J+38 with a 15mm spacer is still going to be really sunk
