Wheel Spacers?!?!

hello.

i have 17x7.5 rota subzeros +45m offset.

running 215/45/17 tires on them and there might be some rubbing (on the inside if any)

where can i buy some wheel spacers to chance the offset so i wont have any rubbing?

and how much thick spacer should i get to ensure 100% that it will not have any rubbing


thanks

I just bought some from the shopim sponsered by. There's like a 20mm gap I belive. Just ask for one for 17s for a 2005 civic blah blah. They should have em at a local import or maybe tire shop. Stock ours are like 56mm but 17s gap allows about 20mm of play that the spacer fills.

^^^ thats not what he's talking about. You're talking about hubcentrics.
a 5mm spacer would push the wheel out 5mm, but in reality, you should have just bought the +40 offset rotas.
100% sure? no, can't be without looking at the car. If its rubbing the inside rears, take a little camber out.
