Looking for Wheel Spacers Information.

Ok, im thinking to leave the idea of getting the Rims for now since i want to save up some money for College rather than getting some Expensive rims. Ill buy them once i paid my school.
To enhance the Look of my OEM TypeS Wheels, I am looking to Buy 225/50/17 and Also Getting Wheel Spacers.
Now wheel Spacers come in many Kind and i REALLY DONT want my car to look like a mexican Truck. But ive seen the New Audis and their Rims and Rightly Alligned to the Fender and not inside nor outside from fender. They are also 17ns and due to right Drop and Allignment, They look perfect. I need Exactly the same look.
I was checking Eibach Spacers and they come from 15mm to 40mm, i need help in which 1ns should i get so the rims dont stick out neither too thin spacers that their is hard to tell difference.
Thanx

235/50/17 is gonna throw off your spedo by 2 mph and i think 235 is too big for the stock tl-s rim since its only 6.5" wide.

225/50/17 is also gonna throw off the spedo but only by about 1 mph

Just measure how far out you want the wheels to be and buy the appropriate sized spacer.
