Default Spacer?

I have a 98 formula and I plan on getting some replica Zo6 wheels. I really want them to fit perfect so I know I will have to run spacers. 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear with a 295 out back is the plan. the wheels are 57 front and 58 rear offset. I want to run a 1/2 inch spacer which will make my offset right around 45 if i did my math right. Should I have any clearence problem with that offset? The car is lowered about 1.5 or so inches. Also with a half inch spacer will it be a good idea to get hubcentric spacers? I don't want it to be cheap. And its's cool if you run spacers on the front right?

That will be fine for the rear. Need new lug studs too.

Hubcentric would be the best kind of spacer to buy.

For the front 1/2" is a bit much but doable. And again new lug studs.

so it would be better for maybe a 1/4" in the front? so with a 57 mm wheel and a 1/4" spacer would in look like it is sitting right for the front with a 9.5 and a 275 tire. Would you still say hubcentric with a 1/4"er? and with replacing the studs just get hardened ones or they need to be shorter or longer?
