Fuchs 7's & 9's plus what spacers?

Assuming factory 16" Fuchs 7's & 9's with 225/50 & 245/45's.... assumming the car lowered to something just lower than euro height and aligned with an aggressive "street'' camber/ caster.
What spacer or combination of OE plus aftermarket spacer (NOT adapters) will move the wheel outward to best fill the fender flares of a 930?
Certainly someone here has done the trial and error fitments to come up with the right combo to best accent or fine tune an otherwise factory appearence.

Show us your pics...

Thanks.

Thanks your reply... can you clarify, are these measurements of spacers that would be added to the OE spacers?

No those are the OE spacer sizes. If it's a later car you won't need front spacers. Early car will need 22MM spacer in the front. I have 89 brakes with spacers front & rear with 9s & 11s X 15

I thought those were the measurements for the OE spacers... but Weltmeister sells a 54mm spacer among other sizes. So... what total measurement of spacer would be needed for a '79?
