the offset on the alfetta should be the same, front and rear.  i'd suspect
that the spacers are intended to equalize the offset on the mismatched set
of wheel's you've got.

of course, the car could be intended as a circle track racer, in which case
you'd want one offset on one side and the other offset on the other side. ;)
