Default Front wheel spacers query

I found Illusive90s MilleMiglia 17s from his 95 90quat. They dont seem to fit in the front of my 88 non-quat without rubbing. I never had experience with spacers, Im thinking 5mm or 8mm any suggestions? TIA

Tie-rod about 11 o'clock, before I even tightened the lugs

Default with spacers yes, its a necesity.

I order it from ECS as well, make sure you get the conical seated ones as well. Also, getting a couple metal wheel hangers from them now is very good idea as well. It will save you uber time and frustration, trust me.

I have some a full set of 5mm H&R's.....it would be much cheaper than that.
