A 25mm or 30mm spacer will put you pretty close to flush with those wheels.

Any reason why you don't want to just get some wheels with a good offset off the bat? You can probably convert to 5 lug and buy some nice wheels for a some more money and it will be more piece of mind than running spacers.

I'm getting a killer deal on these wheels and i don't have to be buying expensive wheels.

H&R Spacers would be the a good choice. Just do a search for them.

wheelspacers.com is the place to go. $65/spacer is reasonable considering the uber-high quality.
Also, just HOW FLUSH do you want it?

If these were going to be used exclusively w/ these wheels, I'd get 40mm spacers. Otherwise (i.e. will be used with other wheels in the future) get either 30 or 35mm.
I run 7" wide front with -1 offset without a problem, so you should have no problems running 7" rear with 0 offset.
