If you're getting wheels, ideally you would get some with the offset to acheive the level of flushness you'd like, instead of adding spacers to them. But this may only be possible if the wheel exists, or you're having custom wheels made, and can choose your offsets.
Here is a shot of wheels with the proper offset for the desired effect of "flushness". These are Volks GT30's. Have a look at the pictures on my profile page. I had these wheels made for me in 20 inch.

Here's my info on these... Front: 20" X 9.5" wide with +35 offset
Rear: 20" X 10.5" wide with +10 offset
My tire sizes where: Front 265/30/20 and Rear 305/25/20.
