I've had very good luck with Venum on Amazon. Spacers and bolts are high quality and they ship quickly with FexEd.

Three of my cars; 2x'99s and my '02S, all have stock size 17" wheels (7" front 8.5" rear). I'm using 20mm rear and 15mm front spacers. They give me what I think is a perfect stance. I had 15mm square on one of my '99s and yesterday I pulled the rear off and replaced w/ 20mm. The 20mm just looks a bit better than 15mm in the rear.

I'm having the 18" wheels refinished for another '99 I'm working on. With the wider 9" rear wheel and the front being 7.5", I think I'll start with 15mm spacers on all four corners and see how it looks before I go with 20mm in the rear.

I misspoke regarding the Enkeis being 10.5 diameter... rechecked and they’re 18x10. PM’d you with a bit more but should say here that I didn’t try them on the street because they’re corded Hoosiers and although I wanna play with them, that’s lower on my project list that I wish it was.

RedTele58 was the helpful fella here who got me playing with spacers for a street stance. I’ll pull them off for the next round of AutoX, but 20mm in the rear is pretty dead on for curb appeal. You might refer to his pictures in a search.
I’ll edit my previous post to clean up my mistake.
