Default Well, think about it.
Wouldn't that depend on the wheel's existing offset? All a spacer does is change the offset. So when you're done, look for something that nets around a 35-38mm offset (on the 7.5" rim). Any more and you might cause some rubbing issues depending on how low the car sits.

Default Then get some H&R spacers...
Just watch out for your fender...more aggressive offset will cause rubbing issues...

Default Get hubcentric spaces if you are going more than 8mm...
or you will get vibration at high speeds. That's not good.
