If I were to purchase spacers for OEM 172's, what else do I need other than spacers? Extended bolts?

thanks for the support guys

I would recommend 15mm spacers in the rear. as Gene said the offsets in the rear are ET32. these are the same rear offsets as the 128s I had before, and I ran 15mm in the rear bringing it to an offset of ET17, pretty flush with the rear fenders

I only think I need spacers in the front.? the front looks ok to me..

Newwyll...you're sure I won't have any rubbing in the back with 15mm spacers?

Thanks for the help!

I'm running 172M's with 13mm rear spacers on my winter setup. It looks good.
