Hi all, I have currrently have 18x7.5 5x100/114.3 ET42, HIGH + /40mm+ 5X100mm
wheels on my 02 WRX. and I am planning to put wheel spacers on them.
Does anyone have any idea which size of spacer best work on those sizes of the wheels?? and am I able to put different size of spacers front and rear??
any suggestions would be helpful. Thankyou!!!

 

it would help if you mentioned the starting offset

 

sorry, all i know about my rims are 18x7.5 5x100/114.3 ET42, HIGH + /40mm+ 5X100mm
Thankyou!!!

 

www.ichibausa.com has some in either 5 or 10mm offset, which would put you where you want to be.

 

Why would you want to space out further? Are you trying to run a super-wide tire and running into the strut? Running an ET40 is relatively low, a 5 or 10mm spacer puts you into hub damage territory on a Subaru.

 

thanks for the advise guys!!
but, I dunno does it gonna damage my car???

 

If it doesn't rub, don't use spacers.

 

Sorry guys! I'm just jumpin' in on this cause I'm about to get new tires and had a similar curiousity.
Mine is an '02 WRX Wagon and I'm still running wth the stock wheels (rims/whatever!). My question is...What's the biggest tire size I can put on the stock rims? Taking in consideration the width of the rim/wheel (OEM) and the fender cavity. Right now, I've been running on P215/55R16's and have had no problems with anything but I want to push it a little BIGGER in every aspect (width and height). I don't care much about bigger wheels/rims, just want bigger tires for a more aggressive look and feel.
How far can I push without using spacers? Are there any "significant" negatives about going with bigger tires besides RPM readings?
Thanx in advance!

 

bigger tires, ie; larger rolling diameter is going to make your car slower. If you want wider tires get wider 16" rims. How much bigger will also depend on if the car is lowered.
