Where's the best place to get spacers?

I'm going to put the original Type S wheels back on while I get the others refurbished, and fancy getting some spacers so the Type S wheels fill the arches a bit more.
Any recommendations of what thickness to get, and where to buy them?

Tbh with standard studs do no more than 3 mm. Any more than that you would need extended studs or machined hubsentric spacers.

5mm max.
Wider and you need built in lug nuts.

Imo 25mm still wasn't enough on type s wheels.

Not even my car. Was on prelude power. Looked alot better on 25mm spacers though.

Yes, that does look good. I might not even bother with 3 or 5mm spacers in that case and just put them on as they are until I get the Motegi wheels refurbished.
