Err your questions are too broad to answer. If you're going with fender flares, then of course you'll need spacers to make it flush. Do you want the flushed look? Then again I can't see who wouldn't want it. The offsets on the 006's are too high, so you'll need spacers. And I think you'll also need spacers in the front to clear your coilovers.

And if you're going to run fender flares, my suggestion is to not run these wheels at all. They have bad offset, and I'm sure you'll need a friggen 50+ mm spacer to adequately pull off flares.

I'm confusing myself trying to answer your question.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST TEST FIT THEM FIRST TO SEE IF THEY WILL CLEAR. IT'S REALLY NOT THAT DIFFICULT. IF THEY CLEAR THEY CLEAR, IF THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T. IF THE FRONTS DO IN FACT NEED SPACERS, IT WILL BE MINIMAL, NOTHING OVER 5MM PROBABLY. THE REARS WON'T NEED A SPACER AT ALL.

I FIND THAT 17X9 WHEELS WITH AROUND A +25 OFFSET YIELDS THE IDEAL WHEEL FITMENT FOR AN S13 FRONT. NOT ONLY IS IT PERFECTLY SPACED TO GIVE THE COILOVER CLEARANCE, THERE IS JUST ENOUGH "STICK OUT" TO CLEAR STOCK FENDERS WITH A LITTLE ROLL.

Do people ACTUALLY get upset if somebody types in all caps?

If so, sounds like you need to get outside and step into the real world for a minute. I assure you there are a lot more things to be worried about.

Its just a little annoying to read all caps, and yeah after i went outside and got some fresh air, i realized how shallow it was of me to be getting annoyed at something as simple as all caps

But its cool, im sure the OP wont do it again.
