Your front struts have a camber bolt, OEM so you can adjust it. You can get a max of around -1.3 to -1.5 with that bolt.

If you value performance and good cornering ability, avoid the factory alignment spec. That is a spec used to save lives, i.e. understeer massively.

ideally you need to use a shop familiar with Subarus enough to give you a proper "fast road" spec. PM Bonesetter or search for some of his posts. He's posted his alignment sheet recently in a few threads for his Type R and its a really good one to use. Bring that to a shop and tell them to match it.

Depends. If you care about performance and cornering don't use wheel spacers. If you just want a boulevard cruiser that looks dope with your flush wheels then go for it!
