Default spacer/lug help

When the spring comes around I will actually put my big/skinny setup on. This is what I am running
15x4 front
15x8 rear (5.5 bs)
165/80/15 front tires
275/60/15 rear tires

What size spacers will I need for the front? what type/company do you recommend I get? link?
Do I need special lugs?

You're going to put 18 inch tires on a 15 inch rim on the rear? (probably a typo)

there are the AM wheel spacers, they come with new lugs for the wheels and you'll use your old lugs to mount the spacers.

the only way you'll be able to know for sure what size you want is to look at them after you put them on the car. You may like it how it is, want a little more space (1 inch), or want to really push it out (1.5inch). I don't really know the difference between those two. My friend has the generic AM one and it works just fine. The hubcentric one might be a little better quality or lighter, they're charging you 80 bucks more for something.
