wheel spacers-do i need them?
On an 05 sti obviously with brembos, wanting to fit Rota Grid Drift 9.5", do I need front spacers to clear the brakes?
3mm/5mm? If so where best to buy them?
Do you then need longer wheel bolts to give the nut more to grip onto?

Research has found for a 5mm spacer I don't need extended studs.
So can I get some £10 ones off eBay? Are are they pants?
Next ones up are H&R and are £50.

More research finds none centric on 3mm & 5mm spacers, they only start on 8mm, that's for the h&r make though.
With a 5mm can I stay with standard stud length?

Every where only seem to do 5x100, I need the 5x114 in 5mm.
Who has a 2005 onwards with these spaces fitted?

I dont think you can get hubcentric spacers in 5x114 smaller than 15mm.
May be wrong tho

As above for Rota you will need spacers(only for Brembo,for K-Sport you don't need to run),at 5mm you don't need run hubcentric,if you are not looking track yours car,not sure but Japspeed selling the Hubcentric spacers
