Default 255/50R17 on stock 5 spoke wheels??

Hey guys, so I ordered a new set of tires for my car, and they are arriving Monday. I went a bit wider, to get a better look around the wheel well area. The problem is, there is only 3/4" of gap between my 225/50R17s and the spindle. I will most likely need to run wheel spacers to fit the new tires. I am in a time crunch because I have to go out of town this week with my car. I never noticed how much inside wear I had on my tires until today when I lifted it to install my new driveshaft. I am kind of nervous about driving 500 miles there and back this week, on these tires. Does anyone have a good idea of where to get some 20mm wheel spacers and 47mm studs by Tuesday afternoon?

Does the dealer sell this stuff? I can't seem to find a source online that can have it here in time.

Should I go to Autozone and get the 1/4" spacers and run them on stock studs?

Any ideas are appreciated...

^^^^x2 ...ECS for spacers. You might only need 5mm spacers to clear the insides. Don't run stock lugs, even with a thin 5mm...get the correct length lug to be safe.

255s will work, I run them on 19x9" RS6 rims tho, with 10mm spacers cause the et is 35mm for the euro RS6 rims...I think the 255s would look odd on the 7.5" OE 5 spokers tho, that is just me.
