Spacer size for 22x10 wheels with wheel arch ext?

Hi guys

I am getting 22"x10" wheels (front & rear) for my car. I have the wheel arch extensions installed. What do you suggest in terms of spacers? Do I need them or not?

If yes, then what size shall I get for the rear wheels? I was hoping 20mm or 25mm would probably be good, without making the wheel stick out too much. 30mm could possibly make the side wall stick out more then the wheel arch's face.

I am assuming for 10" wide wheels, I wont need a spacer for the front...

What do you guys think? Anyone has pictures (with wheel arch ext.) that show 10" wide wheels with/without spacers? This would help me a lot with choosing the right size. Thanks in advance!

WHATS THE offset of your wheels i think this is another factor you should consider as some of the aftermarket wheel already have a smaller offset to make the wheel stick out btw any pics of your 22s

I am not 100% sure, but if I remember correctly, the offset is 40. The wheels are still on their way, will receive them next week. Pictures will follow soon...

Another questions...I am not planning to install mud flaps, so if I bring out the wheels with spacers, then while driving, wouldn't it throw back the stones/ice and other road rash at the bumper and aero kit? I am concerned becasue I have painted bumpers and the aero kit is already painted.
Do you think the clear paint protection film will help much?
