Help me decide on spacer size please

I’m going to buy some spacers but not sure if I need 10,15 or 20mm spacers. The wheels came on the car when I bought it and the rears fit flush but the fronts don’t. They are 20x8.5 with a +32 offset. I’d like them to fit like the rears which are 20x10 +34 for reference. Here’s a pic of the rears (how I want the fronts to fit like). I’d like them pushed a little closer to the fender without poking. Thanks for any feedback.

Make sure you get hubcentric spacers and not just the shims.

I’m definitely getting hubcentric spacers. I just need to know what size to go with.

What size tires on the front?

If I were to try and figure out spacers for myself (I haven't, but if I was going to...) I would jack up one of the front corners all the way and measure how much room you have between the tire and the wheel well/fender. Also check with the wheels fully turned left and right.

With that said, many people run 20x10 +23 (factory 1LE/ZL1 wheel specs) on the front with 275/40 or 285/35 and based on pictures the tires/wheels look pretty flush. According to willtheyfit(.com) the 1LE/ZL1 wheels/tires stick out 28mm farther than yours (I guessed a 245/45 tire), so you could possibly go with a 25mm spacer.

My fronts are 20x8.5 +32. I might go 20mm spacers to be safe. I don’t want them to poke or stick out farther than the rears because the rears are perfectly flush and I’d like the fronts to be as close to that as possible.
