Exclamation Which spacers should i get?

Guys i need some help and urgently. I tried reading through the forums but am having trouble finding a set up like mine. I ordered a set of 18" flat?fat fives for my b5 a4 quattro (prefacelift) which is currently running on bilstein pss9's(adjustable dampening and height). I need help figuring out which spacer would make the rim and tire sit flush with the fender. The rim has a e.t. of 45. I also ordered 225/40/18 Continental tires to match the rim. Please help me figure it out so that i can order some h&r ones of ecs. I'm hoping to get as flush as possible without having to roll the fenders. Thanks

Lazer viking ran 15mm up front and 20mm in back but he was using 205/40/18 iirc and therefore i might something different.

thanks, i went off of lazer viking's setup since its the same rim, and got 15mm front and 20mm rear from H&R with matching bolts. If anything i can always roll the fender

just to warn anyone that reads this, the flat fives fit almost perfectly flush without any spacers running 225/40/18 tires and the car sitting something like 24.75" gtf all around. I ended up sending back those spacers to ecs and ordered 5mm as they should be just right. et on these rims is 45 and width is 8.5" .
