And get ARP wheel studs.

Get aluminum. Steel is heavy, don't need it..

Check out ISC spacers. They make great ones for subarus for sure.

Ichiba V2s are the way to go.

25mm steel spacers would be like putting boat anchors on the each side of the car.

I've had them on my car for 2+ years with no issues. I don't know what the circumstances surrounding your car are, but it looks like you tracked with them on? I wouldn't advise tracking any car with spacers.

You can track a car with spacers just fine. Just need parts that aren't pieces of **** yet are being sold as quality parts. Car now has ARP wheel studs and custom billet 6061 spacers. Looking forward to no more issues as this is a tried and trued setup.

I'd only track on wheel spacers if the car has longer studs and the kinda wheel spacers that pass through the stud. I'd never track a car with spacers that bolt to the hub and then have their own studs

That's what I had, from Ichiba. An extended stud and slip on spacer "kit". They all sheared off right at the base of threads. I was not using bolt on spacers.

sorry, I should have said with quality studs... so basically arp, I don't really know of any other brands that make quality studs and they're not expensive enough to gamble on anything else

Yes I learned my lesson. And will continue to tell people. Even on your daily, if you're going to run spacers its not worth saving $100 to risk thousands of dollars in body work.
