perhaps then your question is not worded correctly.

To install those rims, you will need spacers.

There are two types of spacers. One that has a set of lugs that you bolt to the new wheels, and the other, simply a spacer that requires longer wheel studs.

You need to deciede which approach you wish to take.

BTW: as a side note, wheel spacers of any type are banned in every racing org that I know of. There is a reason why... mostly because it is not safe.
