wheel spacers
 
My friend wanted to me ask if anyone on this forum knows of any good wheel spacers for his 05 wrx. I did not have time to search so this might have been talked about already. thanks

I think it depends on how much of a space he needs. If it's more than 2 or 3mm, he's going to need new wheel studs... so any kit that comes with the studs is probably a decent one.

Keep in mind that spacers will put a bit more load on the wheel bearings (like running low offset wheels, though the '05 has the better wheel bearings), and are another link in the chain that can fail. Also, pushing the wheels out like that will effect the steering geometry which can make the car tram-line on rough roads or bump steer, in addition to the obvious possibility of fender rubbing. i.e. make sure he's got a real reason for going to the spacers... if it's just to look "hella flush" keep in mind the drawbacks.
