Help spacers

[J88arv]

Hi all, I’ve made a huge boo boo and purchased new tyres for the rear of the van which are catching the arch liner.

Normally I run 275/40/20 however by mistake I purchased 275/45/20 and i can’t send them back and before Xmas can’t replace them either

I’m thinking about 16mm space on the rear but this is a new realm for me so any advise super welcome

That is a big tyre to run on the rear - however the rear arch is huge. All depends on your wheel offset and how much room you have on the outer edge of the wheel.

If you push them out, will they catch the sliding door?

I did run slightly smaller before mate and was fine. Was thinking a 3mm spacer??

That’s a good point will take a look but thought with them on a runner it sits further away

Clearance for even 16mm spacers should be ok??

Thinking these may help the situation but then I have no idea what bolts I need
