There are plenty of cheap alternatives out there, Even if he broke even with wheels compared to spacers, he would still be winning. Much rather have a nice wide wheel and tire flush with the front with no need of spacer in the front...
Could just be me, being an s-chassis owner in the past, big wide wheels and flushness just comes natural to me
Edit: There was a famous (well not really) phrase that carried itself around s13/s14 forums for a while....Don't make the wheel fit the car, make the car fit the wheel
Spacers, roll fenders, pull/flare the fenders, whatever it takes to get them to fit

You don't seem to know enough about the subject, so do more research or scrap the entire idea altogether.

I'm guessing about 15mm in the rear and 10mm in the fronts.

theres not a one size fits all answer for this. diameter, width, offset are gonna affect what size you need. you had the right idea when you measured the distance from the lip to fender.
imo though you should either sell the rims you have or take the loss, because honestly doin spacers right will cost a good piece of what those rims did.

Here's the thing, you getting wider tires is not going to bring your wheel out any farther than it is. Which why I still wonder why you keep focusing on the tires. Keep your tires, measure the gap and probably subtract 5-10 mm to give you sufficient clearance and be done with it. So if you measured 25 mm I'd say subtract the 10 to be on the safe side, so get 15mm spacers. Same process for the back/front wheels.
