No I did not used any spacers. The rims are 17 x 9.5 all the way around. I am going to buy a pair or slicks for when I take it to the track.

My friend at discount found them for me through one of their suppliers. The tires are 275/40R17. I wanted 17x11 in the back, but they did not have them in stock and I could not wait. I doubled checked on my reciept and they are for sure 17x9.5
