Spacers

Hi I want to get spacers, I plant to put them on my stock OZ rims, what spacer range can I use? If anyone has pics of the various ranges that would also help.

Obvious question, why? I would think a 5mm spacer would be fine but I don't know what the max is.

I wanted to see what it looked like, I have seen that thread which shows someone with 5mm but the only comparison is just to with out the spacer. In either case, I wanted to see what it looks like with th stock rims to see what kind of difference it makes.

I am running stock OZ rims with 205/55/15 tires and they rub like crazy both on the inside of the wheel well as well as the fender. Lowered with KSport Kontrol Full Coilovers by the way. even back when i had 195/60/15(stock size) there was maybe at most a few millimeters clearance when the wheel was turned. Another word of advice, by getting spacers you move the lug nuts farther away from the hub increasing the exposed length of the lugs. What this means is less of the lug is in the lug nut and the exposed area is exposed to higher stress due to the increase in surface area on the lug. Im not saying you will break your lugs but just something to consider.
