17x7 +48 Superleggeras w/ spacers??

[Shiux]

So I plan on running spacers on my WRX to get slightly more "flush". Let me know what you guys think, but more importantly, what size spacer should I go with? Don't worry about extended studs, I got that taken care of. :)

Wheel size: 17x7
Offset: +48
Tires: 215/45

I can get anywhere between a 5mm spacer to a 27mm spacer (about 1.06 inches)

What would you guys suggest? This is one of the things I want to get done before Supermeet.

Here are some pics of current fitment:

I say 1.06" spacer in the rear, .25" in the front.

Can I vote axle spacer and STi trailing arms, latteral links, and control arms? If just sticking with wheel spacer I'd stick to 10-20mm.

[hiprsha666]

I voted for 15mm, seems reasonable

[DHGurs]

How wide of a wheel can you fit on a bugeye without fender mods? Even 1/4 inch spacer would put you out to a +40 offset

[yaya]

17x8 +40 should fit with no problems. That's the size of my winter setup and I'm pretty low.

[DHGurs]

What's the limit on a GD, without tons of madtyte camber? +35 or so?

[yaya]

I have no idea on the limits, just know what I've run. My current winter setup is spaced to 17x8 +30 up front and it definitely needs a roll at my ride height.

or if you got berge in the back seat.........................:hide:

Step 1: Measure from wheel to fender....

Step 2: purchase spacer per size of measurement

Step 3: piss of DHGurs by slamming it with a lot of stretch and camber

:D

[DHGurs]

It doesn't piss us off, (me more than most actually). Most Subaru driver's like driving their cars, while a select few (and 90% of VW Fanbois) like taking pictures of them while hard parking, dressing them up with silly accessories and rusty hoodz, making them un-drivable, and talking about mad poke and pushing the limits of illestness on the internetz.

Fixed.. :D

Joking aside .... I don't understand how you can ask a bunch of people on a forum what size spacer to run. Get a ruler take some measurements buy the spaces . Can't give proper advice with out being with the car and measuring . Not to mention what you think looks good is different from someone else .

[Shiux]

Just asking for some opinions based on visuals, and other peoples personal opinions.

I'm not looking for hellaflush, or for someone to tell me what to do, just some outsider opinions.

Feel free to come check out my car in person if you want, ill bring a ruler. :P

[yaya]

I voted 25mm, but I think 20mm would put you pretty close to flush with the fender.

[squeethebee]

Fo realz, 25mm. Hard park that ish.

Don't worry about spacers and get something more performance oriented? :shrug:

[DHGurs]

So what did you/we decide??? :D
