Default Spacers on the OEM 16' Wheels

hey guys, I search first for these things before I make a thread and after 10 mins of searching by pages and the blasted search button still not working, I would ask my question here.

Just ordered some coilovers and I'm going to drop it pretty good to about the top of the Tire. I seen a few pictures of cars with the OEM 16' wheels and lowered with springs and coilovers and the wheel is sunkin in. In the 240sx community we call it a sunkin battleship lol, anyways, I'm use to a more flush look than sunkin in.

So what size spacers would bring them out to near flush order? Btw, what are the sizes of the OEM 16 wheels? What offset are they too?

If anyone has done this, putting on spacers, did you buy longer lug studs? Thanks guys

On a drop the the wheels will naturally look "sunkin in" depending on the drop distance. If you don't care for that look you can correct much of the camber by getting an alignment. I would recommend you try that first before getting new studs and spacers. All they will do until you get an alignment will give you a "sunkin in" wheel that stick out even farther. Then once you align that you'll be rubbing on every bump..

And I always have heard the term as the wheels being "tucked"....
