Default Wheel spacer question

I have a 2000 GS300 with 18" Tourmaline wheels (I think they're 18 x 8.5). I'm running a 245/40 up front and a 275/35 in the rear. What size spacers should I get? Thanks for the help!

Even better would be to post the offset of said wheels.

So I found out the wheels are 18 x 8 with a 45mm offset. Hope this helps in your suggestions for spacers.

Didn't know I needed to be this specific, but I'd like to know what size WHEEL spacers I would need to make the wheels fit flush with the fenders. Any help is appreciated.

Woah hold on. I think I've spotted your car at the local LA Fitness if your GS3 is silver.

I took a picture of it.

Haha! Yep that's mine. Obviously that's before the 275s in the rear. I know it needs to be lowered. I'm going to do the wheel spacers and springs at the same time.

I actually just moved so I don't go to that gym anymore.
