tire questions

A friend of mine has some tires he's going to give me, Continental Sport Contact II size 245/45/17. I want to put those on the back and put a smaller size on the front, I'm thinking maybe 245/35/17 and I'm puttng them on 350Z rims. For you guys who've used them, what size spacer would you recommend for the rears in order to have the tires sit flush in the wheel well? The fronts are fine but in the rear they sit about 1/2 inch back. Any advice or suggestions will be much appreciated.

My mistake, I was giving feedback on a purchase I made, thought about the tires and posted my question on the wrong site.

I've got a staggered set up and it's fine. I've got continental conti-sports 255/35/19's. As far as spacers are concerned I would suggest some 10mm and that should bring you flush.

From now on though man, make sure to post in the wheels and tires suggestion forum, not the classifieds.
