What size spacers for factory Sport Techno 18s?

I am running the OEM Sport Techno wheels, I want to install some spacers when I get a new set of rubber in the near future. What size should I go with and where can I get a reasonably priced set? I remember somebody with the same wheels saying 15mm all around, but I searched and searched and cannot find that old thread. Thanks!

My car came with Techno wheels; I just measured them and the spacers are 17mm hubcentric type (only rear, no spacer up front) Those spacers didn't work with my HREs; I bought 15mm non-hubcentric type for them.

Use a 15mm spacer up front or your cars going to look like a funny car with the wide rear tires and fronts tucked way in the fenders. When i had my stock wheels, i first bought 15mm spacers for rear only and then after putting them on it is very obvious you need them in the front as well.

Mike, what are the widths and offsets on your HREs?

I recall being told by the guy I bought them from that they were custom made for the Pcar, so they are stock widths and likely stock offsets.

Both the wheels I have bought (first HREs and then now OZs) I was told the same thing.

But my HREs were 11.5 in the rear and the OZs are 12 so the offsets are not likely the same. I may be adding some spacers in the rear now that my new tires are beefier.

Take a wheel off and check the reverse face, the size and offset should be stamped/cast into them
