If you need to install 30mm spacers, then stretch a 185 tyre over a 8" wide [or wider] rim, [which is quite illegal] just to get them under the car, then you clearly have the wrong rims. The design width for a 185 tyre is 5" & it is legal on rim widths between 5" to 6-1/2" unless it is 60 series profile or below in which case a 7" rim is legal, & these are on 8" [or wider] rims. Ever wonder WHY it's llegal?

Quote: thats awsome, what backspace did they have? well they had way too much and ive had to use 30mm bolt on spacers just to clear the leafs. the funny thing is the fronts are 15x7s and im running 195/45s on them so my front wheels are running wider tyres
