spacers required
I've got a set of weird tires, but I paid for them, so I'd like to use them.
They are Kumho V710 335x17. They fit on old GS offset rims, 17x11". The hitch is that they won't fit on the car! The tires rub on the inside of the wheel well. It's not lowered, so the outside of the fender is not an issue, but I need to run a spacer to allow the tires to go on. The question is what spacer (how much) and will I have to do wheel studs to fit 'em on? Thanks.

yep, keep adding washers until you know the thickness of spacer required to fit the tires on. at the same time look at your lug nuts and make sure that all the threads are occupied with wheel stud - if not youre going to need longer studs too...
might not be worth it in the long run - you could sell the tires and put the money towards something that fits...
