So I've been searching the forums and can't find a definitive answer to this question. I need to know what size (if any) wheel spacer and lug nuts I need for new rims I have.

The rims are 7.5*16 inch with an ET (offset) of 41.

Also the new tires (I don't now if it makes a difference) are 225/55/16.

Please let me know what size spacer and lug nuts I need if anyone can help!

Also any good recommendations on where to buy this stuff?

You would really check out the ultimate wheel post, I'm sure you'll find your answer there and Chris has everything you need. I have a similar wheel, only mine is ET 45. The 225's are going to rub unless you get at least a 15mm spacer up front, which puts the wheel just outside the well. Rear isn't a problem as long as your spacer doesn't make the tire rub against the slider

Who is Chris and how do I get hold of him?

Sorry I signed up as a member for these forums a while back but just started using them so I'm a bit of a newbie.

Contact Chris at www.t3technique.com

I have made many purchases from him, and more than happy with his amazing depth of knowledge on wheels and spacers and lugs, as well as amazing customer service and product quality. He was traveling last week, might be a slight delay in communication.
