the ideal offset is +35 for this wheel sizes. I have Buddyclub P1 RacingII+ is 15x7 +35 offset no need to put spacer at the front.

Offset is the distance between the wheel's center line and the inner wheel face (the surface that mates with the car's hub). A wheel with an offset of 0 would mate with the car's hub exactly at the left-to-right center of the wheel. Positive offset pushes the wheel face closer to the outside (moving the tire inward) while negative offset pushes the wheel face closer to the inside (moving the tire outward).

Go here for a wheel offset calculator: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
