Ok, so i decided on wheels.

the sizes they have are;

17x7.5 +50, 17x9 +63
17x7.5 +43, 17x9 +54

I was told the 1st setup would work fine and that the second one would be right with e fender and it would look a little more aggressive. My car is only lowered about 1 inch. The questions is, if I get the first setup and decide I want them to stick out more, is that what spacers are for? Where can I get these spacers? Are they expensive?

Thanks in advance!

 

spacers will make them stick out more, but you will probably have rubbing issues unless you roll the fenders or something.

someone correct me if I'm wrong?

btw, what size tires you wanting to run? that will effect clearence issues also.

Do it right the first time. The difference in offset for the fronts would only be 14mm total, and 18mm for the rear. Less than an inch each way. Forget about spacers, go with the set you like.

 

This is what I do for a living, DO NOT USE SPACERS!!!!! They will ruin your wheel bearings, affect your alignment and screw up your turning geometry. Like slideways said, "do it right the first time." The second set up will work, probably without having to roll the fenders unless you decide to lower it in which case you'll have to roll and adj the camber.

i caught that one too haha. i have spacers on the front to clear my Spoon calipers. I have had them for a while and i havent messed up any wheel bearings yet. if your gonna use them use ones that are made right. I what i mean by 'right' dont buy them from Pep Boys or any kind of universal spacers

The second setup will work without rolling if he doesn't use anything wider than 255s in the rear, and keep his drop at 1" like he says.

 

you only want to run a spacer if you need to clear a bbk.. other then that don't do it...

 

Hub-centric wheel spacers are okay to run, even under racing conditions. The problem is most people don't run hub-centric spacers b/c they're costly and they don't have long enough wheel studs and end up stripping threads.

Run the first setup and avoid fender rolling hassles and limiting your tire choices since not every tire manufacturer has the exact sidewall profile or overall width that affects fender rubbing nonsense.
