do I need spacers?

I'm a new owner of a 2000 GLE and recently put on new 17's with a 45 offset. All the wheels fit on the car fine except now I am not able to put my dust caps on the rear wheels because the center flange sticks out a bit. Does anyone know if I need to get 5mm spacers for the rears and if so, where can I find them. Will I need to get longer stud bolts as well? Thanks

for a 5mm spacer, you don't really need to get extended wheel studs. you should be able to get at least 5 full turns with the lugs.

the spacers can be ordered from almost all wheel shops including discount tires, or can be picked up at local PEP BOYS.
