    You definitely do not need spacers, however with that offset you may rub a little in the rear. Although with a 215, you may be completely fine.

    I ran a +35 with a 235/40 for a year with no trouble. However I did have to roll the rears, because I was running a beefy tire. The only reason I could imagine you would need spacers to run ANY wheel on an EP would be if it was a +48ish and higher.

    Clean wheels!! like everyone here said you should be good to go. Might even get away with not having to roll the rears with such small tires. But if you do end up rolling them your next set of tires should be at least a 225

    Future Reference: +35 sticks out so adding spacers will make it stick out more. The lower the number, the more they stick out. The Stock offset is like +42 I believe.

    Yeah I think 215 is a nice size tire
    unless you want some beefy sticky tires

    but 215 will go nicely
    You wont need spacers unless you simply want them.
    I think stock offset is +45

    a +35 wheel will fit nicely
    In my opinion:
    +45 is a bit high for a 7.5" wheel
    +35 is nice
    I personally like +20
    strictly personal preference

    nice wheel choice
    they look good
    post pics when you get them mounted!
