17" Wheels; spacers
17" Wheels; spacers
I'm thinking of buying these wheels/tires on Ebay:

I assume that they can be mounted with the right spacers.
Can anyone confirm that and also figure out what width the spacers should be?
Thanks!

just going by guessing 1.75-2" spacers on the front and the rear would be pretty close maybe .5" on the back.. most of the time they are in an 18" on the rear
heres a good place for the math

Need 2" spacers all the way around, unless you have a rearend out of a newer car. If your current tires don't stick out in the back though (which is what happens when you use a 4th gen rear in a 3rd gen with stock 3rd gen rims), you'll need 2" spacers.

i'd say about 2 inch spacers on a factory rear and front setup. Ive got eagle alloys series 077 chromes with spacers that are on my thirdgen for sale now, im only asking 650.00 with the tires, (tires will need replacing VERY soon) Rims are 17"x9" and the tires are dunlow sp sport w10's but i think my spacers are 2 inchers. they looked great until i did the 4th gen rear swap, and now i have to get other rims. Spacers come with it the rims too.
