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.
