I will be getting my Si rims powdercoated in Gunmetal until I save up enough for a nice set of wheels.

My question is what size wheel spacers should I use to make the rims flush, or atleast close to it. And will I need extended studs?

are u gonna lower it when u get the new wheels

 

5 mm should be close.
that would put you around a +40 offset.
u can go 5 more and go 35. i think its about flush at 35.
but you're going to need open end lug nuts and extended studs to go out that far
on spacers.

 

as of now im planning on HFP shocks w/ aftermarket springs so it will most likely drop 1-1.5"

i-VTEC DOHC -- thanks

 

The HFP is a .8-1" drop, normally settles around 1-1.2" at best. This should leave you with enough gap to go flush but I'm not 100%. My sportlines are initial 1.4" drop and settled closer to 1.6" drop, I have a slight tuck on my wheels at that level.

 

^ i second that. my front wheels on 225's were tucked pretty good.
now im on 215 and its barely tucked. i just wish the rear was lower.
but thats why im getting coilovers.
