Wheel spacers required?

[riverdale21]

Tirerack is selling some wheels that I like trouble is that upon further inspection the offset is 35mm. Would I need spacers? If so what the hell is Tirerack thinking selling wheels that dont fit?

i'm assuming you have a i/e car if so yes they need spacer. 15mm should be about right...don't forget longer lug bots also.

what is the width of the wheel your looking at?

[riverdale21]

7.5"

Yea, definately get AT LEAST 10 mm - but I'd suggest 15 mm spacers.

[MattM20]

7.5"

then a 10mm spacer would be ideal

[nando]

they would probably fit without spacers (and 205/50 tires), but they would look stupid. 10mm spacers and 225/45 tires would look badass (I'm assuming a 16" wheel diameter here).

tirerack includes everything needed when you buy wheels that fit your car
spacers bolts everything

I don't think Tirerack recommends wheels that require spacers. et35 wheels will fit w/ 205's, like Nando said, but they would look way better with 10mm spacers and 225's.

Yea like Brew said et35 will fit on 205 and 215 if it is a 17" wheels

I have 215/45/17 with et35 17" wheels and it does fit but i got 15mm spacers just in case and they are on the car .
I tried it without spacers and it worked but 225 tires will not fit...that's how close it is.

my oz's are et 35, 17x7.5

they fit......barely, get spacers it will look better, trust me.

wow what size tires do you have? i could barely fit my pinky in the gap between my tire and strut housing on 7.5" et25's with 225 tires.

Completely untrue. See all those pretty BBS wheels? They ALL require spacers. Same goes for just about everything there except the Kosei K1's.

Ok, I don't know why I thought that, I must have read something on a similar web site. My bad.
