pretty sure none of the OZ superT's clear regardless of diameter..........

as for spacers not something we would use, better to swap to suitable wheels IMO

you can run into issues with arch clearance, etc. depending on car

from memory you would require at least 10mm and therefore require extended studs also if you were going to use them

good quality hub-centric from the likes of Eibach are what you want if needs must

Eibach pro are the ones I was lookiing at. So you reckon 10 mm will do it?

You don't want to hear it, but there is a reason that Subaru picked the wheel dimensions, to suit the suspension design. You won't only overload the wheel bearings, but will also alter the feel and braking stability by altering the offset away from standard.

Most on here just want "the look" few bother to do the research.

Good luck with the Eibachs, as they are probably easily the best out there.

All IMHO.

Im open to all suggestions mate.
Reason im asking is I cant really justify wheels and tyres as well as brakes
I also ran h and r 25 mm spacers on my 200sx for years and they were fine so thats why I asked.
The car doesnt get used a great deal but wanted to update the brakes.now if I can use my wheels with a 10mm spacer it would be great as I say I dont track it etc.but also dont want to see my wheel go past my window on my first attempt at braking
