I don't see why they should be willing to tell you.

After all, researching the proper fittment spec, making a special order of a wheel, not normally produced, in numbers great enough to get the cost down, to offer to the public, who then goes and buys it somewhere else....Man I'm glad I'm not in retail!

I did phone MSA,the two people I talked to couldn't tell me any thing except "the wheels come with spacers..I think"...not too helpful to apotential customer

If the wheels aren't close to 0 offset, with a 17 inch rim you would run the risk of not enough clearance between the tire/rim and the spring and/or spring perch.

Sounds to me like they are more of a front wheel drive spacing that would require a spacer, or you'd have to convert over to the adjustable coil-overs for more clearance.....

Looking at the picture of it in their catalog, I'd say it's got quite a bit of positive offset, but it's really hard to tell in a picture like that, cuz you can't see how thick the mounting flange is on the back of the wheel...but, it it does have a thich flange, then you might run into trouble with the wheel studs not being long enough to capture all the threads in the nut....

All it says in the catalog is that it comes with all the necessary hardware to mount it, which is a good indication they require a spacer due to the positive offset.
