Default How do i make my tires not rub?

I just bought some 17" rims with new tires, i was told they were on a neon before they replaced the tires and they worked fine, Well i put the 2 slightly used rims on the front and its close but they work, as for the back, since the 2 rear tires are 100% new, they just barrily rub on the strut, i was told i can fix this by replacing the rear lug studs with longer studs and then putting a spacer on, but ive also heard that, that can wear out your wheel bearing really quick. so i am stuck, if anyone has any ideas please send them my way! Thanks so much (: Name:  Car.jpg

Well the wheels look a little too big in general for the car. My Durango only has 16's but whatever. I would say that with your car being as light as it is you would probably be alright with a minor wheel spacer. Just don't go crazy.

What is the offset of the wheel? I personally don't like the idea of running spacers on cars.
