my friend has a accord and he had a set of racing hart c2s that he wasn't using, so just let me have them.

i had put them on and they look a lot nicer then stock...went for a drive and both rear wheels wables! so i pulled over and checked it out...the nuts got loose some how, tighten both wheels and noticed that one side of the rim there is a gap between the rotor and the rim. so im thinking the thing in the center...i dont know what it is the thing in the middle of the rotor,

so do i get a 5mm spacer? or is it the studs? when i look at the studs, they look perfectly fine and the rims aren't bent.

its not hitting anything, the offset might be a little off but the rim isn't hitting anything

i'd say a spacer. when i put mine on they told me i could use a 1mm spacer dut didn't need it. did the shop (I assumeyou went to a shop) tell you that you might need a spacer? if so i'd go get one.

you probably need some hubcentric spacers. it sounds like the wheel isnt leaving enough clearence for the center portion of the wheel. hubcentric spacer might fix your problem but will push the wheel out a bit farther. If i was a mod i would move this to wheels and tires where you would definately get an answer from exar-kun or grant.
