If you are using them on a Syncro, you can just bolt them on and go. If you are putting them on 2wd, ET37 at 6.5 inches wide gets pretty close to the steering components but should still clear. Nothing beats bolting them on for size. Just use your stock steel wheel hardware if you do not use spacers.
