Okay my friends i am looking for the right size wheels spacers for my car. I kinda have some ideas but im still not 100% sure on what sizes i should pick up. I have stock 2005 stock wrx wheels which are 16". I'm lowered a good amount right now and i like the ride height and im trying to eliminate my wheels from sinking in so much....Give me some ideas, thanks!

Why run wheel spacers if you don't have too? Its just something that can fail under certain conditions.

10,15,mm I'd say. It's not to much but should be enough to get the look you're going for. Try googling those numbers on a wrx, see what comes up.

if you want to test fit my 15mm dude lemme know, theyre universal, non bolt up kind though, so you can just put them on and tighten them up and lower the car to see how it will look.

Get some cheapo REP wheels, get everything you want, and won't have to run spacers, because chances are, depending on what spacers you get, you may spend a nice coin. in which you can get 8+ wide wheels for around same price

Get out a ruler and measure what kind of clearances you have to work with from the tire to the fender and buy appropriately.

Yeah that's what I did. It was either buy 4x100 wheels or run adapters, I chose to safest route, got wheels lol
