Spacers are a variable thing depending on where you are.

My local Walmart wouldn't touch em. Mom and pop shop didn't blink while they beat the wheels off them with a hammer

Just had to cut some of the body trim that stops at the rear of the wheel well, next I plan on getting a radiator and oil skid as well as after market wheels

Also if anyone else is looking for wheels I found these (mb-tko 17" 0.25 backspacing) at discount tires for 650$ not bad I'd say...Image

I have the exact same tires in the same size. I have no rubbing in back, just a little in front that was solved with a ziptie to pull the plastic liner forward a bit. and I have a 3" MarkMC lift btw.
