If anyone is looking for anything, I'm parting a 00 still.
Car is about 80% stripped.

Also, WallE. These cars are surprising easy to work on. I'll get another one in the future. White of course

I think I want to get some spacers for my rear wheels so they look even with the fronts. I just dont know wtf to get :/ I've never even looked into spacers at all. I'm thinking either a 5 or 10mm spacer would give me what I wanted in the rear. Would a spacer that size need new studs? I can make a spacer at work to give me what I need, but not with new studs.

3mm seems to be the max safe limit on factory studs. That would bring your offset to +37, which I think is the limit with a properly sized tire. I've seen quite a few people with a 9 +35 and below struggle with rubbing on a stock body S (just rolled). And that was with a 245 tire. The fronts being more aggressive on the front with a square setup is just how it is, and I think it looks wicked. Evasive now has some offset upper A-arm bushings. They bring the top of the wheel/tire in, unlike the offset balljoints that just kick the bottom of the wheel out (for camber gain). That could always be an option on the fronts.
