anything below a +40 offset should be OK without spacers. Mine are +40 and no clearance issues at all. I added the onetongarage.com 10mm rear spacer shims, but only for appearance.

I'm moving this thread to Tread and Butter Forum, you may get more responses there.

^^^ What Mark said.^^^

As long as the wheels are up to +40 offset, you will not need the spacers in the rear. I have 17x7.5 w/ +42 offset and needed a 3mm spacer in the rear. I'm also running 215/40-17 Neo Gens.

I need to get those spacers. My rear wheels need to come out a bit (for looks not rubbing) and since your specs are the same I know it will work. I know I said I was done for a while but I just can't help it. :wink:

no, no, no, you want up to a +40 offset, so the lower the number the better.
