what size wheel spacers should i get, to get 17x7 wheels as close to the fender as possible. I don't want them to over lap, or cause the wheel to set to far out on the lugs, which i know kinda limits the size avab.

They put a different bending moment on the spindles, load the bearings differently, and change the position of the 'Dave point' WRT the contact patch. I haven't found this to be a problem with 25mm (1") spacers. I've had them for well over a year and no problems. The steering feels a little different. Its got more feedback, but only at certain slip angles. Overall it feels great, but it would be better just to get the wider wheels with the right offset. The only reason I did spacers was because I was running a class where the wheel size and tire size are limited and I wanted to maximize the track for better handling.
