what offset are the wheels you are trying to run, and how wide are they?

Those offsets are really high, and you'd need to run a huge spacer, and at those sizes for spacers, i start to lose my trust even from the best spacers. it just doesn't seem safe to be running a spacer that big. i had wheels that had a +45 offset on a 8.5 rim that i was gonna use for a winter setup, but someone even said getting a spacer to have that wheel sit right would be pushing it.

Thanks for the input. I was figuring that would be the case.
