Currently my wheels are 15 inch (older Audi wheels) that require spacers to accomplish the proper offset/clear the body of the van. My main goal is to get wheels that can be mounted without spacers, as many mechanics (bigger chains such as Les Schwab, Firestone, etc) won't work on the van once they find there are spacers there.  Also, there is a safety issue (depending on with whom you speak).  I know I can purchase new wheels that don't need the spacers, but there is the strong possibility that the spare will no longer fit underneath the vehicle.  Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

Thanks for any shared wisdom in this space... Reed
