Talking Spacers for the FC with mazdaspeed wheels

Hey, I was wondering if anybody knew what size spacers I would need for the protege mazdaspeed wheels, which are 17x7 with a +55 offset all around. I believe that only the fronts rub, but wouldn't I need spacers all around anyway for the wheels to fit correctly? Also what size spacers would I need? And where to get them? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, matt

You're looking at minimum 1/2" spacer up front.

Damn, stick to the stock wheels. I bet they weigh less then the MSP Racing harts. I had a MSP and those rims with tires were over 30 LBS each.

Yea Im stickin to the stockers for now, I have decided not to purchase them and just save up until I can afford a nice set of wheels. Plus stock 91 n/a rims are not that bad.....thanks for your help anyway, hopefully someone else will buy them and this will help them out a bit.

Probably 5/8ths. Im running spacers on a +35 Offset on a 8inch wheel. One thing to make sure you do is run longer wheel studs. I upgraded mine to ARP...without it, you'll get a good unsafe amount of full turns for your lugs. I was running like 4 turns to tight and almost stripped my wheels off when tracking the car. That was just plain stupid.

ARP Wheelstuds if you use a spacer for sure!
