Default any problems with running spacers on 17"s?

I need my rims just a hair out more. Im thinking 8mm should be good...... do I run the risk of damaging suspension geometry? tire wear?

you can run up to 5/16" on the rear but the fronts you can;t run anything over 1/8"

I tried.... the front studs are shorter than the rear.

I ended up having to have a custom set of billet spacers made with thier own studs. My wheels are now just about flush with the body... huge improvement.

wheelspacers.com has more info

are we talking about factory rims or the rims pictured on your signature?

makes no difference really. The front studs are only long enough to put the wheel on... factory or aftermarket.....

I tried to put a 1/4" spacer up front and was only able to get 2 turns on the lug nut.
