Just measure how far between the fender and the wheel is and buy a spacer in that size.

Sweet thanks! Didnt see that link. How do you feel about 10 or 15mm spacers?

Make sure your spacers are hub centric.

Anything less than a 25mm bolt-on spacer will require you to grind down your old studs.

I'm sure your going to need an unholy spacer of epic proportions to make those 16x7 mb battles sit flush. I assume this is for an S13?

Were I you, I would just sell those wheels to some Honda dude and rock the stock wheels for now.

What do you mean by that? They are the 5 lug 16x7 MB weapons... They are for an s14

He means that 7" is really bad width, 9-10 is a lot better.

16's on an S14 is going to look very weird too.
