    This is very searchable. In an effort not to be an ass, and just leave you with that, I'll help you out.

    This is my new setup: 19x9.5 ET 30 - damn flush



    You want to look at wheel width and offset when determining where your wheels will sit. Then look into what tires will fit given your suspension setup.

    I want to say if you have 8.5" wheels, you should be looking at about a +20 offset to be flush. 8.5" ET17 would put the wheel right where my picture above shows, but would give you more inner clearance.

    THIS LINK is a handy little tool that will help out. Throw in your current measurements, and the measurements of wheels you're looking at buying. It will more or less tell you how different the new setup is to the old setup, then you go into the garage and measure that distance on your car.

    You don't need spacers unless you need to clear a BBK, or you buy the wrong offsets.

    Did you even think of trying to search? I am guessing not....

    It seems more and more forum users feel that they are entitled to have answers given to them....not sure why this seems to becoming an epidemic.

    Oh, and I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

    Cheers,
    Jim
