It really depends on your struts. Struts that are narrower or attach a little more inboard are going to use less spacer. If you need to use a 5mm spacer, with wide rims/tires you might then run into fender problems. I ran 275/45/16 tires on my 02 WRX and used a 5mm spacer in the rear to get them to clear the strut. It still just barely fit under the rear fender after it was rolled.

On my 98 Impreza the wheels stick 2"+ outside the fender wells, so that requires either hacking or going to stiff spring rates. I hacked. The wheels I'm using are like +25 offset, so they have no issues with clearing the struts without a spacer, they are just about perfect actually, I couldn't have guessed any better.
