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??

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.

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!
