Hey guys!

I got some rims that were pretty much for free off a friend. I was wondering if i can use spacers for the rims, they are 17x7.5 +40 i know there tempe specs but maybe use some spacer too make it look tucked in and half decent. I was thinking maybe using 25mm in the front and 30mm in the rear? Any recommendations other than buy JAP brand rims, i would love to buy some decent offset JAP rims but money wise cannot afford it. Any recommendations on using spacers for these rims would be awesome.

Cheers,

J

yeah 7.5 is pretty gay but i got it for free anyways cant really complain LOL. Might aswell use what i have for now. So you guys rekn 25mm for the fronts and 30mm in the rear or 30mm all around? so it would be 17x7.5 +10 if i use 30mm all around?

If you go anything less than 30mm spacers, just be aware that the back of the wheels needs to have a hole for the studs. I wouldn't recommend chopping them.

I have a full set of 4 30mm spacers (5 stud 114.3 PCD) un-used, let me know if you need any.
