so was the necessary spacer fitment a 20mm minimum or could you clear the brakes with maybe a 10mm? also would buying the front wheels in +22 change the requirements any at all?

20mm is minimum you can go. My wheel offset is also +22 and that was what i had to do. Sucks cause my wheels kinda stick out, not my style but gets the job done!

Congratulations and great job looks very nice! I would recommend the Akebono brake upgrade if your will be seeing any track time. If not the stock Z brakes do ok for street duty. The color you painted your Akebono calibers look close to the color of the color of the brake calipers on the 2018 Subaru Impreza STI no joke.
