Default Wheel spacers

Are there safe? I really want my wheels to sit more inline with the bodywork

You want Hubcentric ones, they are safe. No cheap crap.

Eibach and H&R do very good ones, and also CDF on here do some

If I were you, for ease of use, I would get ones which comes with nuts, rather than the extended studs.

Also, for size.....it's hard for us to say. Depends on your current wheel offset. Could you measure from the edge of the wheel to the wheel arch?

Should improve it really, as it will give the car a wider stance.

Hi

As mentioned, spacers must be hubcentric if they are bigger than about 5mm on the Impreza.
Give me a shout if you need some, we stock the Eibach ones. All TUV approved and perfectly safe..

Thanks
