Default spacer size

thurther to my other thread about my brakes, and after getting some brembo calipers for my 02 wrx (calipers off a 03 sti) could anybody tell my what size spacers ill need for standard 17" wrx wheels?
i will be getting hubcentric ones for a perfect fit, just need to know the size if possible before hand so i can order them ready?

thanks

Not too sure, but don't they start the hubcentric spacers at 10mm? This was the minimum I needed to fit my wheels (see view my scooby for wheel design). Mine clear with about 2-3mm gap between spoke and caliper.

A miss my a mm is as good as a mile some say.

Ensure that you're wheel studs are long enough to engage the nuts correctly though. The wheel nuts should have at least 8 turns on them to be within 'safety'.

I had to swap all my front wheel studs for longer items to compensate for 10mm hubcentric spacers.

the spacers came with longer bolts, easy job to do, all fitted perfect, about 3mm space between the wheel and caliper!
