Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone knows if I need spacers or not because my boss at work gave me a set of winter tires on subaru rims 16x6.5 I tried them on today on the front and the rims look like they almost rub on the caliper assembly. Tire size is 205/55r16
I need some input.. Thanks |

Those wheels are OEM 2002-2004 wrx wheels. If you were going to run a spacer I'd put on either a 15mm or 20mm spacer, to bring you out to +40 or +35. Either way you'll need longer studs, and I don't think the back of those wheels will accept an adapter. I think the best idea is to sell them on craigslist for a couple hundred (pending tires and condition) and move on. Too much work involved for something like that. Go find some nice wheels that will actually fit without spacers.

The tires are pretty good winter tires and have a lot of tread left.. |
