Thanks guys :D
Update: The new wheels arrived today! We need some wheel spacers in order to get the fitment right. On this photo you can see that I need atleast 50mm spacers. Is that even safe to drive, 50mm? I saw on a JEEP-forum that there are some cars that have 60mm spacers, used offroad. But can I safely use 50mm spacers? |

Yes. As long as the spacers are properly made they are safe.

Rob, do you have a photo of your spacers/rims?
Oh, and thanks for the eBay link. I was searching already but I could only find the spacers in a Chinese webstore that refused to ship overseas. I also heard a lot of stories about wheel spacers ripping the wheel bearings apart? Is it really that bad or are they exaggerating? |

Yesterday I was finished with a better Photoshop-artwork of the car: It's a small image, if you want to view the high resolution image, just ask. ;) Enjoy! |

The wheel spacers arrived today from Lugs 'n stuff over at Holland, MI.
I immediately mounted them on the car tot test if the wheels would fit. The spacers: The wheel fitment: It could use a lowering kit, but that's a future plan. 9 mm clearance: |
