WedsSport SA70 C-One 17x8.0 +32

I just ordered rims - 17x8.0+32. Will I need spacers for a flush fit?

Thanks!

Those wheels should be pretty close to flush already. Fit the wheels first then see how much gap you have. Then you can decide on your spacer size

That's what I planned on, I was just hoping someone with an extensive knowledge in the area would chime in and say "a XX spacer would be perfect"..

Thanks

By the way anything more than 3mm will require longer studs. Many will say 5mm on factory stud is still ok, but I don't like taking chances. I also highly recommend getting custom made hub and wheel centric spacers. Well worth it.

I dont know exactly, they came with 5mm H&R spacers. So enough for an 8 mm spacer. Which would be ideal for this setup.
