I am definitely getting 18" wheels x 8" - 9". Probably going to purchase Enkeis from Tire Rack. I am having trouble finding information on whether I need spacers or not within 8" - 9" of width. If so, what is a good size spacer and how do I know which one to get for the wheel that I get?

Please bear with me, I've been busy and haven't had time to paint the whole picture yet
Sounds like you may get 18x8 wheels. I have 18x8 and 18x9. +45 and +42. No spacers.

You won't need spacers for 9" wide wheels. Period. (Stance excluded)

8" wide offset range that fits is +35 to +53. (17x8 +53 stock wrx wheel) A +35 8" wide wheel is flush, especially in the front. I would have chosen +40 instead of +45 if it was offered.

Don't forget tires. I run 245/35/18 MPSS. Which are stock outside diameter.

I don't think you are going to need spacers...

Look at the wheel directory. Find similar setups and read. I've read the whole thing.

Good luck!
