Ya, 50resto has the same wheels everyone else has. they just wouldn't work without some crazy spacers

17x9 have +24mm offset = 5.44"bs (they say 5.85")
17x10.5 have +27mm offset = 6.31"bs (they say 6.84")

I don't know where they get their BS measurments, +24mm is +.94", 1/2 of 9 is 4.5" = 5.44". +27mm is +1.06", 1/2 of 10.5 is 5.25" = 6.31. But based on their offsets, it's even farther from fitting.

Mike told me I may be pushing the limit with a 17x11 with 5" bs but if I need 1/4" spacer that's not a big deal. To get a spacer that is safe at 1 3/4" you will end up paying upwards of $100 each. Just cheapy spacers that cost under $100 for he set will crack and are VERY dangerous on high hp cars. absolutely no wheel manufacturer would install wheels on your car without proper spacers.
