Default Hubcentric Wheel Spacers

I'm looking for some hubcentric wheel spacers and i am not sure what width to get.
My setup at the moment with my 18" wheels (ET 48, 7.5" Width) means that compared to the OEM setup i had with 16" wheels (ET 53, 7" Width), i am -1.3 MM out each side.

I'm thinking i could just get spacers to make up the 1.3 MM each side or i could get wider.

What width do you all recommend?
What spacers do you all recommend?

PCD is 5X100.

Thanks

In short you can't do it. As spacers make the ET a smaller number, not bigger. You'd have to take material off the inside face of the wheels to do it. Which isn't trivial.
Example: ET48 with 10mm of spacer would make the effective wheel offset 38mm.

If you're not getting rubbing issues on the exterior wheel arch lip, forget about it.
