I dont believe so if they are made for the car however I think there is if they are just generic spacers.

That's why I never went too large on my choice for tire/wheel size. So many people I've heard and see with the xB and they dropping 18's and 19's on them, 205's with like 30-35 series rubber. I chose thicker and wider (215/45) and didn't want to go more than 17's. So far so good! Knock on wood, no bent rims, blowouts, nothing!Not bad considering the pothold ridden roads I use every day going to work..

Let me call my tire place tommorrow and see if they will warranty them.
I can do $150 shipped for both. Shipping is probably at least $20-25 a tire? Let me know.

Currently, we are unable to fill your order due to insufficient stock of
the *Continental tires* you ordered. According to the manufacturer, there
is no estimated time of arrival for these yet. Consequently, we are unable
to tell you when these will become available. Would you like us to back-
order the merchandise for you? All that we require is a 10% deposit to
hold the order. Once the product arrives, we will charge the remaining
balance on the credit card and finalize the order. If you need product
right away, please contact us so we can show you some options to get your
order completed now.

It means you get some 19" HRE's and keep my tires for decoration in your garage.
