Default Got these new wheels.

The wheels are 18x8 with a +40 offset on stock yokohama tires.
Ok so I know, its obvious the car needs to be lowered asap. I am doing that next but I am looking into spacers because the spindle comes out about half inch restricting the center caps from clipping into place. It also looks awful with the wheels tucked in. What size spacers do I buy to get a nice agressive stance. Im buying TRD red springs btw.

There's nothing aggressive about TRD Springs.

The spacers are only going to bring you out as far as it says it will. So just look at where your wheels are now and decide how far out you won't to go yet.

TRD springs will cover the gap tho, I just want a mild drop. I am also looking for the right height and make the rear wheels stick out a bit more than the front. I will keep searching on what size spacer will work best.

I'm just saying, with those springs, there is no need to worry about anything. You won't rub. You don't need to search for what spacers you need, you just have to look at your car. Spacers usually come 5mm at a pop, so just measusre out how far you want the back to poke out so you can get that staggered look like you were saying.

Here is how the wheels look like up close. I really cant decide if 20mm or 15mm. I wnt flush up front and a bit wider at the back of the wheels....I hate this feeling!

Lay a flat edge like a metre stick or something across the face of the wheel then measure the distance from it to the fender.

15mm spacers all around is what I am going with with some Eibach Sportline springs.
H&R spacers with the extended studs. I think those type of Spacers are safer than the adapter type that screw on and go over the hub.
Thanks a million Biglilsteve for the help. you saved me from buying cheap Ebay spacers.
