Those wagon wheels are 17x8.5 with a +56 offset and the rears are 18x9.5 with a +57 offset. You could probably run a 6mm spacer to move them out 1/4". Any thicker spacer will either require replacing the oem wheel studs with longer units or going with a 20mm spacer with its own studs. The latter will still require trimming the oem studs approximately 1/4" and that thick a spacer will result in wheel poke.

I've seen some guys use 10 or 12mm spacers with ET Mags style lugs, but you might have to drill the lug holes in the wheels bigger for the lug nut shank to fit through.
Doing that allows the lug to grab enough threads on the studs without going to longer studs.
