Default Front wheel spacer 3/4", 1", or 1.25"?

Guys help me out. I have searched the forum, and I have seen some good advice. I just want yall to weigh in on my personal situation. I have what i believe are replica 17x11r 17x9.5f 50mm zr1 c4's. she is lowered. The front is at 25.5". Ride is good....no scrapes..good driver and roads. Anyway as you can see below my wheel is super tucked in. The measured gap is from my largest tire bulge with a 1/4" spacer! I know camber is coming to play here. Tell me what your experience with different size spacers on the front has been and especially give me some pictures in these ranges with a similar wheel on a bird. Thanks!!!! The full car pictures do not have spacers on...front. The rear needs to have the phb adjusted and lowered a little more...drag bags and new bumpstops going in as well.

Can't get pics to load currently. will add later

My car is a Camaro, so not much help with your TA, but here it is anyway. 1/2" spacer behind 56mm ZR1s w/longer ARP wheels studs. TA fenders seem to be a little wider then Camaro fenders. You may need those bolt-on spacer/adapters to push the wheel out further. If I had gotten the longer ARP wheel studs (I've got the longer then stock studs, but not the longest studs you can get for fbodies, 3" vs 4", I can't remember the lengths) I could've went with a 3/4" wheel spacer. I'm maxed out on the wheel studs now as it is. Don't know if any of that jibberish is of any help... Oh, and the more you push your wheels outward, the more likely they will rub the plastic fenderliner, front and/or rear.
