Last night got my first color painted and cleared for a damn bug to fly in at the end and ruin it, luckily it was only the bottom right square on the housing so I will have to scuff that and repaint it at some point but may not be until next week :blam::bs:

Put these on today but the rear is hitting the frame. They're 18x8.5 with a backspacing of 5.15. The offset is 10 as opposed to the front which is -6. I got the rears on Craigslist but the front is the correct fit because i ordered them new. They have 245/40/18 tires. What size spacer would i need to clear the frame?

Also, the tire place i had mount the tires put the interior side on the outside for 1 of the tires. I didn't realize till i took them out today. Is it absolutely necessary to get that corrected to the right side?

If it was me I would use a 1/2" spacer and that's a nice elco

Great, ordering now! Thanks for the help and the compliment. Thanks to my flagship LG cell phone, she can be quite photogenic at times. In person, she's definitely a work in progress. :LOL:

You probably only need a half inch spacer, but I dought your studs will be long enough to work. I have 17×8 on the back of my car with 5 inches of back spacing. I run a inch and a half adapters, but my fenders are shaped different than yours.
