Man, you messed those rims up pretty good man. Go ahead and put a level on her. The spacers themselves aren't very expensive and just keep the tires you got for now.

Not to get too far off track southern.....Do you have the center caps out of the 17" factory rims you were running???? I'm looking for a couple. PM me if you are willing to part with them since obviously the rims are toast. lol
