    I made a n00b mistake or maybe its not a mistake, idk. I bought these rims today on craigslist xxr 522 17x8 +48 offset.. I test mounted them and it looks like I need spacers or something idk. Does anyone know if I'll have any issues turning (even with spacers). Should I just sell them? keep them? idk
    located in las vegas if anyone wants them haha.

    On the back it is super close to the inside but it doesn't hit...
    At the moment there's no tires on them tho..
    How much would you like for the spacers?

    Oh and I hope I'm ready for that truck meet by may! Haha

    get a 10mm, 15mm, or 20mm spacer, it'll look nice.

    falken has them.

    discount tire carries that size, yokohama s drive but at $120 a pop. try to see if federal tires has that size. shouldnt be too hard to find, just not as common as the 205/45/17.

    and the spacers i have are 5mm,6mm, 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch.

    i only have 1 pair of each one ( should all you need for the fronts anyway, the 2 smaller ones were in the rear ) if you need all four i know of a guy up in reno that will custom make whatever you need.

    Just run a 205/40/17 instead of a 195/45/17 and save yourself some money.. The two are basically the same size. Discounttiredirect.com has them starting at $69.98 with free shipping...

    Link for discounttiresdirect 205/40/17..

    Here is a link from tyrestretch.com to check out that size..
