The original Dimma wheels were considerably wider and even with a negative offset at the rear IIRC,

therefore, filling the arches with such narrow wheels, as you have, will require really wide spacers!

 

P.S. You've just agreed to follow the Rules & Guidelines that do not allow TXT SPK!

Just a question of measuring from the lip of the wheel rim to the arch, that'll give you the spacer size you need. It'll cock up the handling though.

I personally wouldn't recommend using a very large spacer either, measure it up and post with how large it will need to be to get further advice from the forum. Don't forget to take stud lengths into account when fitting a spacer if you do go down that route. Don't want your wheels falling off!
