Me again I have rims on my 93 Legacy and they are off a 2000 dodge neon the "fancy" alloy rims and there is a gap inbetween the lug nut studs and the rims I need spacers, "not wheel spacers" but I don't know where to get them or what size they need to be.

I am also confused but in my case that is normal.  The Subaru and Neon have different center bores. The Neon is larger  and the wheel is no longer hubcentric on the Subaru.  Maybe that is what the OP is referring to.  There are charts out there that give the dimensions and companies that manufacture  "rings" that make ip the differences.  Do a goggle search for "wheel center bore".

It sounds like the Neon's wheel studs are a larger diameter than they are on the Legacy.

 

In which case, sell the Neon's rims and buy some for the Legacy.

This is exactly what the problem is the only other issue is that I can't sell the neon rims where I live because no one wants to give me ten bucks for them I need spacers to fit in stud hole of the neon rim to close the gap so my rims are centered I just don't know where to get them

The thing to be aware of is if the studs are flexing even a tiny bit, over time they can fatigue and all 5 shear at once.

 

That was the failure mode for when subaru published the wrong lug torque, driving along and whole wheel falls off with no warning, all 5 lugs sheared.

 

So, use caution!
