ECSTuning.com makes spacers. Not sure if they can work this one but they make after market lug bolts that may help the conversion.

Hi Steve.

Robert,
I looked into this. It can be done with very expensive spacers and such. Really not worth it. There are some manufacturers that make 17" wheels with correct offsets and 8" or 9" wide.

Well, if they're single-lug TR wheels that would be a bit of a project (an INSANE project ). Assuming it's the 5-lug TR style, I'm not sure about putting that much wheel width on a 308 without also having smaller diameter springs, modified wheel liners, etc., but as far as the fitment at the hub everything matches OK except for the offsets. The stock offsets are:

308 front and rear: approx +11 mm

TR front: +34 mm
TR rear: +60 mm

You mention that they're aftermarket TR wheels so they could be a little different offset-wise, but I think they'll still be in the stock TR wheel offset ballpark so probably fairly huge spacer/adapters would be required (but I'm almost sure the rather vertical large diameter 308 rear springs will be a problem at the rear to clear the 10" width).

88 Testarosa aftermarket wheels direct bolt, 17x9 fronts 17x10 rears? With or without serious mods?
