Default Another stupid spacer question

I order a 17" wheel/ tire package from Victoria tire and attempted to mount them on my XA and was shocked to learn they rubbed on the back control arms. They are sending me spacers to correct this. Does anybody have any guess to what type will they send? I am hoping they will fit over the existing hub and push the wheel away from the control arms. Finally, if I am not having problems in the front, will it be okay to just use the spacers in the rear only?

you don't want a spacer between the hub and the wheel. you want an OTG spacer that goes behind the hub for the back wheels. Pushes the whole assembly out entirely. That way you don't have to worry about getting longer studs for your lugs to actually screw all the way down

Which, BTW could cause wobbly wheels and be dangerous... do a search for more info.. there are pics around here somewhere.
