Actually, spacers would make your situation worse. Right now, with such a small offset, your wheels are sticking out much farther from the car than it should. Putting a spacer in will make them stick out even further. What you need is a "negative" spacer but then, we're talking science fiction here.

In reality, you'd need to grind off about between 10 to 20 mm of material from the inside mounting surface of your wheels (10 for the fronts and 20 from the rears) to be like OEM. You don't have 10mm of material to grind off.

Or live with wheels/tire that stick out a bit. It's not that bad. I run 44mm offset on my winter wheels. You just get a lot more schlopp getting thrown up along the sides of the car. Mind you, if he lowers the car, he might be in trouble.
