Make sure the spacers are hubcentric and that they come with the studs if they are thicker than 5mm.

no prob... I got this from the OG Aliga.. You take a ruler and measure from the rotor to the inside of the rim. If you measure up to 2 3/4 of an inch you can do the bbk upgrade. If you are short that is how much of a spacer you need. if you need more info PM me.

I believe those rims are 7" wide with a offset of 50, so you could safely go with a 225 or 235 depending on how much you space them out.

great answers guys. I have been looking online and this is what I figure so far:

225 or 235 /45/17 tires with 20mm spacer in the back and 10mm in the front, or a 15/5 spacer setup.

Finished product ... $200 for the rims, $100 for 5 tires, $70 for mounting balancing valve stems etc.. Good deal
See the first post for all the pictures.
