You dont need a spacer....personally with a 17 inch rim I would go with a 45 series tire

with a 42 offset it will sit exactly where the stock steelie is...for the tire I would go with a 205

In terms of using spacers I believe anything smaller then a 36 offset requires a spacer and longer studs

dude you're on point. so whats really good? you got some typical civic wheels in mind? to answer you question the lower the offset the better. 17x7.5 needs 35 rear and 40 in front with 5 mm spacer.
