Default Here ya go. Spend a little more, and you won't need spacers.

Default You would need spacers. Keep in mind though...

...that spacers are $pendy PLUS you need to buy longer bolts at the same time. It adds up.

Yeah, but I already have the 17 tires and want to save some $$.

What size spacers would I need.

Default Here's my car with 17" Hartmann RS6 Reps and spacers...

These are similar specs as the ones you're looking at- 17x7.5, but et30. The pics are with my snows, and 15mm Hartmann spacers for an effective offset of et15.

You'll need 15mm spacers too but your wheels will sit 5mm further inside the wheel wells but 5mm further out than the stock wheels. You can get the 15mm spacers (either Hartmann or H&amp;R) with bolts (40mm) from Hartmann.

Spacers would be 10-15mm. Bolts will depend on what the wheels require (either ball or conical seat). Probably 40-45mm long bolts, but it really depends on the wheel specifics and the spacer you use.

Default OEM offset confusion?

New ar owner here.
I'm a bit confused about the oem offset. Is it ET25 or ET20?
I'm getting ready to purchase spacers for a 17x8 rim with a ET35 offset. Do I need 10mm or 15mm spacers?

thanks,

James
