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.

It depends on the wheels you're using. You must have the stud go all the way through the nut and it really should protrude at least two theads to be safe. I would guess you won't get much more than a 5mm spacer before needing longer studs.
The 30mm offset will protrude out more. Offset is measured from the center of the wheel to the hub mounting face. To physically measure it you must know the width of the wheel. Then measure from the flange (the inside one, might have to do some math for that) the tire mounts to, to the hub mounting face. Take the second meausrement and subtract half of the first measurement to get the offset. Hope that makes sense...kinda hard to explain without pictures. |
