Wheel spacer question
I have a set of what I believe to be a 9" width wheels and, obviously, I'd like to put them on my car. I'm wondering, though, whether I'll need a spacer and if so, what size? Offset is 0.
Sorry if this is a dumb noob question, but I figured I'd ask and look stupid rather than destroy my suspension and look stupider.

Offset is 0 , they are already going to stick out . +15 on the rear is pretty flush , +22 for the front.

no, no, sorry its not a zero. my bad. The wheels are farther in the wheel wells, but are wider, so that leads me to believe the offset is way different. I'll post some pictures up later when I can get on my computer, instead of the one at school.
Anyway, the wheel's mounting pad is located a 20 or so millimeters farther out from the factory 17s, though I haven't taken any real measurements to be certain.
I'll search up some specs when I get out of school. Thanks guys

No, you're complicating things. You have a set of wheels on there now. If you want them spaced out 10mm, then you get a 10mm spacer. If you want them moved out 20mm, then you get a 20mm spacer. If you're not sure how much to space them out, visually look at the wheel and how far sunken in it is.

measure from the wheel to the lip of the fender however flush you want them in MM's and buy that sized spacer. If its 15mm to the fender and you want them flush buy a 15mm spacer
