    The bolt between the wheel and the rotor/hub to create space between the wheel well and suspension parts.

    Those rims will hit suspension parts and/or rub tire on body mounts/trim. The spacers can help you fix that. You could also buy different rims with a more acceptable width/offset combo.

    yea, i just checked and the seventeens have 4.5 backspace with zero offset. i guess i would rather dump a hundred in shipping them back than two hundred on more stuff HOPING that it will fix the problem
