Not sure I understang your question, but you have enough with both size wheels. Are you talking about wheel spacers? Cause if that's the case, some people on here have 3/4 and others up to an 1". If that's not what you're looking for, then disregard.

Well, the stock wheels are 8" and we don't need anything. Some else chime in, I have no idea what's going on.

hehe, just joking. so what do you want your wheels to do, stick out and be flush with the fender, or not stick out and be tucked inside the fender?
