Here's your problem. not trying to be a jerk, just trying to help. The reason us fitment guys run stretch tires is so we can actually make turns with wide wheels on low cars. With stock tires, you're gonna run into the huge issue of turning, depending on how low you go. You're gonna end up with a buckled fender. So to answer your question in a realistic sense, no you shouldnt try to get your stock wheels flush. Running 10mm spacers max would be fine.

To answer your question though, at least 25mm. I believe the stockies are et47?

Save your money. 5mm slip ons at most. Any bigger and you have to cut your wheel studs. Not worth it IMO.

i completely agree with everything hayseed said. stretched tires are a mush for a low car and wide wheels. or else nothing will fit. stock setup will only get you into problems. and i thought stock offset was 45

you can run a 15mm or 25mm spacer with stock wheels if you wanted and not cut your studs. your stock wheels have indentations on the back where your stock studs will fit into if you run a wheel adapter spacer.

i believe you need 20mm spacers up front and 25mm spacers in the rear to be flush with OEM wheels. as long as youre not slammed, you should be ok running the OEM tires. if youre running that thick of spacers, there is no need to cut your studs. i highly doubt your turnin ability will be affected since OEM wheels are only 7in wide.
