I'm getting ready to order the ECS Stage 2 brake kit. I run the forged OEM 16" 5-spokes. From what I've read the fit is really tight, and I'm worried about getting a slight bend in the rim and having the brake caliper turn into a lathe.

What's a good size spacer to get a little more clearance? What are the stock wheel bolt sizes?

even though the clearance it tight, you shouldn't have a problem. There are people here running that setup without spacers. You'd be hard pressed to bend a wheel that much and still be able to drive the car. All wheels i've ever seen that are bent are bent around the rim,which would have no effect on the clearance to the caliper.

It just seems like cheap insurance

Stage 2 should be no problems, right?

That was my impression.

Your potential "slight bend" would be at the strongest part of the wheel. You won't need spacers.
Spacers should be avoided whenever possible.

but I was kind of looking forward to the front tires spraying even MORE mud all over the side of the car when it rains.
