Stock 06+ civic rims wont clear the front calipers. I'm lowered with one finger gap with -1 camber. What spacers do I need and will they run on stock studs?

you don't need a 5mm spacer. i have those same wheels and a 3mm spacer works perfectly, just enough to clear the caliper bracket. i got a t1r one from evasivemotorsports.com and its held up really good over the past year.

do you really need spacers for the fronts to clear 06+ si wheels? what about the rears?

the only time you need to use spacers on this set up is if youre running 04-05 EP3 stock calipers. although when using a 5lug conversion (dc5) calipers they clear perfectly fine b/c dc5 calipers and fg/fa calipers are the same size compared to the 04-05 calipers
