So...basically my wheels are fitted to the car with a certain offset (42 f 30 r, from what I've seen). If I change wheels...I'll likely need a new offset that fits said wheel. And it will probably be different from stock, especially if I get different width wheels. So, in order to fit new wheels to the car you get spacers that accept the bolts on the new wheels from your wheel housing.

How did I do?
Not bad...
It takes a lot to research to get it right.

Basicaly you position the wheel within the wheel well by selecting an offset to suit.
Start with the OE specs ...then figure max position of where the outside lip should be (eg flush with fender)

On mine I was able to select a wheel with the offset I wanted to bring the wheels flush.
I used NO spacers.
