So I'm planning to buy this set from someone. I know There may be a problem with the tire not clearing the inside. My questions are will this set work with a spacer? Will the set stick out too much or be flushed? My car is lowered 2" all around right now but I plan to raise it .5" with some s-techs if I need to.

Below are the rim and tire spec.

You'll need a large spacer and extended studs for those to work. Unfotunately it's a huge pain trying to fit any decently wide tire on a 2ga. I would imagine you would need a 20mm spacer to get those to fit, it would stick out a little bit but not horribly. Personally I would just look for another set of wheels, you'll spend a couple hundred on a quality set of spacers and wheels studs just to get it to clear the knuckle, and then you're gonna have to worry about rolling and pulling the fender to prevent rubbing.

This thread is helpful, although it is geared towards 2gb owners. Note through personal experience I have found that chart innaccurate though. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/road-course-autocross/325923-17x9-35-offset-good-choice-2g.html
