The price is good. Will these fit a '00 Base or require spacers.

Thanks in advance!
The fronts will fit ok . But, the offsets are not ideal . The offset on the rears, however, are way too high . Depending how "flush" you want them to look, you would have to use at least a 15 to 20 mm spacer. In addition, 285's are a bit wide for my liking; especially given the fact that the fronts are only 225's . In my opinion, that does not strike a good balance between the two .
