Is it a 3mm or 5mm spacer for the stock wrx 16x6.5 wheels to work?

Man it must be small, because it really almost fits without one...

I don't understand why if the rs and WRX wheel is 16x6.5 + 55 why won't the WRX clear?

I can confirm that the Spec B 18x7.5 55p do NOT clear JDM Subaru 4 pots... My wheels arrived this morning having bought them based on reading/seeing other 55p rims clearing OK but they need about 5-6mm extra between the calliper and back of the wheel spoke.
I have a number of potential solutions to this problem; 1. swap out the wheels however I do like the style of the Spec B 10 spokes. 2. Grind the calliper down - I'm going to pop out a piston and measure to see how much meat there is to play with, but i don't want to grind the SUBARU lettering completely off. 3. Reposition the calliper. This is my preferred option since I want to mount it lower and further out so I can run a 316mm rotor. There might just be enough clearance doing this but if I can find a 5x100 316mmx25mm rotor with a 55mm hat depth then this should work. I'm designing a custom bracket specifically to achieve this.
