Default widening WS6 wheels, which spacer?

I'm thinking about getting some WS6 wheels and having the rears widened to 17x11 so I can run 315/35/17's, what wheel spacers should I use and what size.

Im pretty sure you need a 2inch spacer if you widen them to 11in. Not 100% sure on that tho.

If u get them widened properly..they won't need a spacer at all. They should get the backspacing correct..I know a couple people who have had it done for OTHER CARS.

been a while since i've talked about this subject. but. you dont move the face of the wheel, you just add to the backside. so the backspacing will be incorrect.
