Lol no not varrstoens. Although I do love them I wouldn't get them after everyone and there mother has a set now. I got a cheap set so I could go ahead and do my hub swap, but back on the lookout for original wheels!

so I'm looking (again) into spacers... what do you guys suggest?
18x7.5 on a 4-lug base model. It's a high offset, I don't remember off the top of my head, but I think it's +40.
I think hubcentric with (attached) lugs start at 15mm but I don't know if I want to go much thicker than that..I don't want crazy poke status, it would look wrong, but I want it flush at the very least. I could get you guys some pictures by tomorrow if it would help. **noob status right hurrr**

So you put a tape measure up against your sidewall and look straight down from above. Decide where you want the wheel to sit and convert to mm. Or better, get wider wheels

Not in the budget for this year, but thanks! Should I go a few mm past the arch to account for a few degrees of camber?
and I don't have to 'convert' anything because I'm Canadian

In that case send me a mm tape measure. I could use one lol.

I'm not a fan of big spacers unless they're correcting the offset to what the car needs (for example, when running sky RL wheels which are +55/+50 iirc, somewhere in there)
But, if that's what you want, go for it.

There's a ton of stuff packed in the trunk, went on a road trip this weekend.
You guys will probably say "needs moar low!" but I'm happy with it.
Absolutely no rub at all even cornering so far.
