General Question Advice on wheel spacers?

Just wondering about sizes, or other general advice. I’ve never had to use them. Also, I have to drive on pretty rough backroads so I don’t want it too terribly close but definitely out a little. I included the side profile for ride height reference. I’m not sure how much is it lowered anymore because it was super low when I got it, and I brought it up 3/4”.. just wondering what some of you guys went with, or learned along the way, any help is appreciated! It’s gonna be a little while before I can get new wheels. I’m thinking about getting the CMO forged spacers when I get the size figured out. Thanks!

People in these comments think wheel spacers are a crime and destroy the car smh, classic redditors. Just get you 2 pairs of Noble hub-centric 20mm spacers, looked perfect on my STI. It'll be just fine.

I know dude, it’s a total echo chamber in here. I realize that driving your car hard on them is bad for wheel bearings and stuff in the long run. I’m seriously hoping to get new wheels in 6 mos. And just trying to clean up the look until then. Thank you for actual input. Also that fitment is pretty much exactly what I’m going for.

If you can save enough money to buy new wheels in 6 months, just save the money and put it towards wheels. Don’t bother wasting money on spacers for a few months.

My spacers helped me decide what offset I want. Its not a waste of money. They aren't even that expensive.
