4TH gen wheels

I now have these American Racing 17 X 9.5 rims, I know I need the wheel adapters.


I have a great opportunity, I can get 4 adapters-spacers for around 50$. (not the cheap stuff, good ones)

The thing is , it's 2" thick x 4 adapters.

Will the rear tires rub in the fender ??? I will be running 275 ZR 40

It all depends on the backspacing o the wheels. check out this sight.

I think it is 2" in the rear, and 2.25" in the front, if the offset is 38mm (the small offset). My wheels have 56mm (large offset) so I needed 2.5" in the front.

You will need large adaptors in the front than in the rear.

Hope that helps.
