Lightbulb WHEEL SPACES

Just wondered if anyone has fitted any wheel spaces on there impreza??

I have a 06 hawkeye sti and just orderd coilovers, but before I have all the geom set up I would like to put a set of wheel spaces on, I dont know if this would be a good idea or not, I just feel that the rear wheels sit well under the arches.

Also if this is a good idea can anyone tell me where to get some from??

Thanks in advance guys.

Wheels should be centered around the (continuation of) the dampers.
If you put spacers on OE(ish) rims all you'll get is worse handling.
If you have wider rims or rims with to big(!) offset you can use spacers to clear the wheels from touching the springs.
