    What size spacer will work best with these wheeles?
    37 views in the wheele and tire section but no answers, who's got one for me?

    I have the same wheels on mine!! I have 1.5" spacers behind them. May be able to get away with 1.25" but I played it safe.

    Once you sober up, it is wheels -- not "wheeles."

    When spacer becomes that wide, they technically need to be called adapters.

    They will bolt onto your axles with exposed studs for those wheels. Make sure that the new wheel 'just' fits over the hub of the adapter. You really don't want the weight of the car riding on the studs.

    Match the threads to your lug nuts.
