Correct wheel size?

I am new to the 3rd gen scene and I notice everybody is using spacers and adapters to fit wheels. What are the correct dimensions and who makes wheels that can be bolted on without any spacers?

Re: Correct wheel size?

People use the spacer adapters because all modern wheels use a very positive offset and aftermarket wheels for modern cars, or even the OE wheels, and cheap. There are plenty of options for direct bolt on wheels in many sizes and styles but generally are higher end wheels and more expensive. However, better quality wheels are stronger and lighter than the cheaper alternatives.

As for your question, that depends a lot on what size wheels your looking for.
