Offset Help

So my 18's that yall have seen on my car have a +38 which comes close to the fender and dosent scrape, just the way I like it. Well I also have some white 18" Racing Harts just sitting in my garage with no tires. Three have an offset of 44 and the other with a 42. The person I bought them from bent one and replaced it with one that had a different offset, thats why that one is different. Well the thing is, wityh an 18x7.5 with those offsets the wheel tucks in too far and will not even mount all the way on the hub. I would like to get some wheel spacers that set these wheels to a 38 offset like my current 18's. What size spacers do I need?

im not sure how spacers are measured. if they are measured like the offset it then you would need three 6 spacers and one 4. But thats just a guess. If no one really gives an answer here I would message neal @ tirerack or call them and ask them. They would know. Mabey they sell spacers as well.

I just learned that 5mm spacer all around will give me 37 and 39 offsets, That should work right?

Racing Harts are white. My DTM's I yall have seen are silver.

Here are some pics. They were dirty and had a 225 - 40 tire. Thats why its so close to the fender. Tires were bald anyways.
