Default Spacers for my 964?

I have currently have 17" Boxster S wheels on my 964. The offsets of these wheels are Front-55, Rear-50. I was wondering what my options are for spacers so I can push the wheels out just a bit so the wheels are more in-line with the fenders. Can anyone help me out?

Here are a couple pics of what it looks like right now. I just took these so excuse the dirt on my car.



What sizes should I be looking for?

Thanks!

I would suggest no more than about 5 mm in front and 7 mm at rear assuming no rubbing.

If you go more than 3mm-5mm, you should replace the wheel studs with longer ones, so the nut has enough threads to grab onto.

Thank you. This is mainly the info I was looking for. I don't want to get too crazy, just a little bit more... maybe I'll do 5 all the way around.
