How much clearance should a strut and a tire have?  i can slide a piece of budlite card board between my new rims and tires.  2 or 3 mm>?

That seems pretty close to me. But what's the worst that can happen?!??

All right   Definite maybe,    I got 4volvo tire and rims at the dump$130,   The back are cool.  Fronts rubbed.  Stuck some spacers.  Rims fit. 2 mm clearance.  Nuts are near 70 percent on the lug bolts.   Seems to roll ok.  Drove 40 mile today.   Seems triangle safe.

I'm assuming you used some fender washers

For fine adjustments, cut out shims from a beer can.  You'll need lot's of shims, so this job is going to require drinking a lot of beer first.

Spacers are store bought.  They didn't fit.  Walleyed them out with a drill to get the ring over the bolts rite

Forget the beer . . . You need Tequila!

Update.  The wheels kept coming loose an throwing lugs at what ever speed lugs fly off at.   Even had a wheel fall off in front of Walmart.   I've added nail polish to the lugs and they appear to stay stuck. Victory is mine

OMG. Forget the lock tight,  I'm switching to nail polish now,  you could also use it to mark the location of the lots so you can tell when they start backing out

Was it your nail polish?!? I can't imagine my wife letting me take her nail polish down to the garage....
