   i just tried fitting my wheels that i just received
   i put the fronts on and they are fine
   
   put one of the backs on and noticed the inside of the tyre was touching the torsion bar cover
   
   what do i do?

   What size are the wheels you are trying to fit? I had to use 15mm spacers to stop it rubbing when i fitted my 17s with 205/40r17.

   Yea i did i think i had to get ones with 46mm tread length.If you use any think over 5mm spacers you should get longer bolts.

   3mm spacers will be fine if it has drum brakes. the drums change the rear offset a little bit due to the rear trailing arm. iirc

    they are fitted now and they look and drive fine
    3mm spacers were just enough to not have to buy longer bolts
    really happy with them
