    I need to add a set of wheel spacers to my GP after a recent brake upgrade and I'm currently running a 17" wheel with a 225/50/R17 tire but the company is asking what size and thickness I'd like. I thought they would only need to know whether I had a 4, 5 or 6 bolt configuration and the level of spacer thickness I wanted. Obviously I know the number of lug nuts and the thickness I need but they also want to know which of the following sizes I needed.

    5 x 3.94", 5 x 4.25"

    5 x 4.25", 5 x 4.5", 5

    5 x 5"

    What are these "size" numbers they are referring to?

    Thanks!

    Its the bolt pattern. Bolt pattern is 5x115 or 5 x 4.5.

    Next question for you is why are you running so short of tires and why do you need spacers?

    yeah, what brake upgrade did you do that doesn't fit under the wheels? CTS-V?
