These rims are 40mm, what will i need to make it fit? right now I have some like 6-8mm. I can't tell since its so old. Will that make a 40mm offset rim fit?

What size are they? Your stock wheels are either 38 or 40mm, so unless you're going a fair bit wider, you should be fine depending on your choice of tire size. If you already have those spacers, you'll probably be fine.

The rears most likely won't need a spacer at all, other than to push both sets out equally for looks.

Stock TII rims are 7 inches wide with a 40MM offset... tires have about an 8.5 section width..

run a 215/45/17 up front and you will be golden.. In the back... you could go 235's (245's will fit but might be getting a little wide for a 7 inch rim.. check the rim witdh reccomendations of the tire manufacturer)

If you want to push your wheels out, you could run the 6mm spacer, but its not necessary to make it fit..

IF you do decider to run the spacers... get longer wheel studs ideally, longer than the stock studs by the same amount as the spacer!!
