Spacer help

I need some help getting spacers to clear the brakes on the winter wheels.

Theyhey came with the car and had some crappy 2.5mm spacers to clear the front brakes. They also came with rings but one was cracked.

I want to get hub centric spacers so I don't have to deal with the rings. 10mm seems to be the smallest size I can get that in.

The winter wheels are enkei ekm3. 18*7.5 with 45 offset (I guess that's what the 45 on the wheel means) (pics included)

Can someone help me understand what spacer I want to get?

I'd get 15mm bolt on spacers, with those you won't need to change your OEM studs to extended ones. This will give you a net +30 offset which will be a nice fit at the fender and a much simpler install.

So how would that work for me switching between my stock 19's and these winter 18's.
They have different bore size?

I'm fairly new to all of this. Thanks for the advice.

Are those Infiniti wheels? If so they should have the same 66.1mm bore. If not, then you should get hub adapter rings that will get those wheel hubs to that 66.1mm size, then the hubcentric spacers will keep vibration to a minimum if any at all.
Ebay sells aluminum rings for about $10 and these work well vs. the cheap plastic ones that are sent w/ many aftermarket wheels.
