Never had spacers just curious what you guys use. I don’t want the wheels coming outside the fender but just a little more flush than factory.
What else has to be done when spacers are put on?
Some insight would be wonderful

There are many pros and cons arguments towards spacers. But for aesthetics you can't beat a good fitment for the cost.

Depending on how large your spacer is going to be there are two types, slip on and bolt on.
With bolt on spacers depending on your rim design you may need to trim the stock wheel studs if they stick out too far.
With slip on spacers depending on the thickness you may need to get extended wheel studs to replace the stock studs in your hubs. Some spacer kits include extended wheel studs, some don't

You can find more information here on the two types.

If you're going for a 'flush' look you may also need to look into getting your fenders rolled and/or shaved.

Bolt on spacers are substantially more expensive and usually much thicker than slip ons. But they are known to be the best for balance since the slip ons can keep the wheel from bolting down "hub centrically". The right way is to use wheels with the proper offset for your desired look. The slip on spacers will do minimal, but they are cheap and will make a little difference in the look. Just depends on how thick you want to go and how much $ you want to spend to get the look you are after.

Thank you guys!!

Don't forget you have to make sure you have enough threads on the lug nut making contact. Back in the MR2 days, we had a list of the part numbers of the lug studs, for progressively longer lengths of studs, in mm.

If you guys have spacers can you post pics with the specs for them to get an idea of how wide to go

There's like half a dozen wheel fitment threads for you to use as reference.
