are there any 17" wheels that don't require spacers for cryin out loud and by that I don't mean complete custom wheels. I have about $700 to spend on wheels not wheels and adapters.

I really like those but if I have to use an adapter I guess I will find something else.

Sure, just find some with the same backspacing as your stock wheels.

I have a set of those in my garage... gonna fix them up during the upcoming break.


Anyway, you need to measure from the back. Put a straight edge (anything straight) across the length of the wheel and measure the space between the bolting surface to the striaght edge you are using. Probably 4.5".

That being said, I would use 4.5" backspacing in the rear, and around 3.5 - 4" of backspacing on the front with either a 7 or 8" wide rim. Some people say 4.5 up front is fine, but mine ALWAYS RUB!!!

ROH Snypers: bout a hundred bucks more, but the backspacing will work... http://www.skulte.com/rims.html and Andris is cool to deal with. Heres what they look like on ShiftyCapone's ride https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...&highlight=ROH

These are Pacers but they were made by Centerline for Pacer as shown by the manufacturers stickers on the box when I got them. They were $650 for all four 17 x 9.5 w/ a 5.5" backspacing.
I really need to polish them again.
