How Big can i go?

how big of a spacer can you get away with before you have to buy bolt on or extend your lugs?



Front
Size: 17x7.5
Offset: +30mm

Rear
Size: 17x8.0
Offset: +33mm

wana be pretty flush with the fender. i can roll and pull some because i dont have it painted yet.

It depends on the wheel, to be safe you need at least 8 FULL turns of the lug nut.

To figure it out you could always count how many turns you can get without spacers, then subtract 8 and multiply by 1.5 to get the maximum spacer thickness in mm.

Buy proper hubcentric spacers that have their own bolts.
