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

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.

yes extended bolts would be necessary. we always do spacers and bolts together
