I had a deal I couldn't refuse on some 17" tires for my 2003-2005 forester. The only wheels I really liked were the BBS wheels from a 2004 STI, which unfortunately have a slightly higher offset. To make matters worse, the tires were 235/50r17. When I initially test fitted this setup, the inner sidewall contacted the strut body quite a bit on the rear. Thankfully, these spacers did the trick. 3mm is commonly considered the largest spacer you can safely run without extended lugs. These were JUST BARELY wide enough to give me clearance with the struts in the rear. I think I'll still go with a narrower tire next time and perhaps I'll no longer need these, but they did the trick if you're looking to do something similar. The best part is this 17" setup (even with a much wider tire) is significantly lighter than my 16" setup (steel wheels).
Build quality is good. These are much nicer than the garbage Advance/Autozone peddles. The fit is exact, so I don't worry about the wheel wobbling all over the place. Finish is nice. Definitely worth the $20 range. Arrived much sooner than I expected based on the estimated shipping time.
