Default Subaru-fitment wheel spacers? Now?

Sigh. Does anyone know a local shop with proper wheel spacers? I just need 2mm... but today ideally.

Test fit:

I ended up calling Stoptech support. They said it was okay (I asked) to grind off some material on the caliper to get 1mm clearance since it was just that edge. I had some black Stoptech touch-up paint on hand, so I went that route. It's not gorgeous, but it worked and I don't have to buy spacers with new studs and go through that whole ordeal.

Hell, the caliper paint is faded a lot as it is, so oh well.

<-- Impatient when he takes a day off from work and things don't go according to plan.
