Default do i need a spacer?

Do i need a spacer to run a 10.5" or 11" rim with a 315/35R17 on it? and is yes then what kind of spacer do i need?

Btw i have a 2000 camaro, right now i have 9.5" and it already has little room.

I was thinkin a needed to hammer it and roll my fenders but will i also need a spacer?

Let me know guys, thanks

As long as you have a 50mm offset on a 17x11, you shouldn't need to run a spacer.

Depends on the rim's offset. Let us know which rim you are dealing with.

Shouldn't need one at all. And i'd do bigger than a 285 tire that seems a bit small for a 10.5 rim.

With some hammering on the inner fender and rolling the outter fenders, you won't have any problems.
