any reccomendation on wheel spacers on 2003 BE

[jny03subbie]

hey guys , just wondering on what you guys think about wheel spacers (maximum mm without rubbing) for my 2oo3 BE, tires are 205 50 17, rims came from 2006 legacy, no mods on suspension. thanks

Just make sure you have enough stud left to safely secure the wheel! I've had a 6 mm spacer on there and there were enough turns left on the nuts, but I would not go anymore than that, and I'm sure it varies from wheel to wheel.

why? So you can join the herraflush kiddies?

Anyway, regardless of your intent, you'll need longer studs if you want something bigger than a 3-5mm spacer. Even with a 3mm spacer, I have only found that I'd have either just barely enough turns or 1-2 turns short of what would be considered "safe" (roughly 7.5-8 full turns of the lugnut).

lol hellaflush those rides are sick looking tho, but im not slamming my ride no way not here in anchorage alaska, i just wanted to have that stance like the them audi's n benz. like they say wider the better ? so 6 mm. okay time to look around. yeah i would rather replace those stock studs to an longer ones. thank you guys !

Just get wider wheel and tire. Do it the right way.

Don't go nuts with this. Even if you get new studs you're putting more of a load on your wheel bearings...
