also went with the white/polished DDR. with 195/45/17. wanted them to tuck in a little more in the rear and be a little taller to fill in rear wheel wells. May look at lowering rear shocks some.

Thanks everyone for sharing the information on the wheels. Below is the set up I used for my 2018 Gem.

Wheels 16x7 with 38mm offset 4x100/4x114.3  
Tires 205/45r16  
Front spacers 1 inch  
Rear spacer 1.5 inch  
My rims had a 73.1mm bore so I had to purchase the 73.1mm to 60.1mm Hubcentric rings so the wheels could align on to the spacers correctly.  
Had to buy aftermarket lug nuts like mentioned in previous posts.

Wheels clearance in about 1/4” from the shocks. Tires don’t rub on front bumper either.

Man. you couldn’t have gotten a better fit on those. You might need to take a belt sander to that back fender if it rubs.  
Or let it clearance itself.

indeed since there is flexing back there or atleast there is on my 2002 and 2008 GEMs. Enough on the 2008 to have ripped off the wiring harness someone attached to the inside top of the fender over the tires.
