It depends how wide they are and what the wheel offset is...

don't get me started on the scrubbing! i'm running a 3mm spacer on the rear of mine on 195 tyres (6.5" wide rim) n this brings the tyre out just a bit, if i were u i would go a bit wider! is it on both sides and is it both front and back?

had the same problem with mine, im running 10mm spacers, make sure you get some longer wheel nuts though and that you have about 6ish turns on the nut.
