what size spacers did you use, if you don't mind me asking?

Wish I had those wheels

Mine are chrome... whoever had my car before me wanted them like that from the factory unfortunately. I hate the chrome, though.

^This. I've been eyeing 10mm spacers for a few months now, but I haven't pulled the trigger because I didn't know what would be necessary.

Thanks Ricky. Try calling me again and if I don't respond leave a voicemail or text. The best way to contact me is via email since sometimes I don't receive phone calls or text because of my bad reception in the hills.

Ok I will try calling you in the next month so I can make some time from my Bussiness for personal time and get this done. Haven't had a decent day off in I can't even remember. Business has been hopping since the metro expansion line through LA and Culver City. I'll call you if no responce leave a voice mail, send text message and email you. I've been wanting to get those suckers on for the longest, but no time to do so. Thanks bruh you're the best.

Woah. I think I'll go with 15 and 20, but thanks for posting that, Loop!

Follow up: where'd you order them from, Loop?

Post by **Loop** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:14 pm

I ordered mine through http://www.conceptzperformance.com/ but there are many other vendors who sell it for the same price. You can also try vividracing, evasivemotorsport, or thmotorsports, they tend to have competitive pricing. Sometimes emailing them or finding promo codes can get you the better deal.

Thanks, man!

Post by **Mr.Coupe** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 7:28 pm

Hey Loop, what's your email addy bruh? It's not in your info. So I can shoot you an email when I'm ready to install those coils. When I have time and you of coarse.

IBCoupe: Not a problem. Post pictures when you have them installed!

Ricky: PM sent!

I think I'll wait until I need new tires. I accidentally got 225s instead of 215. Math works out that if I knock off 5mm, I'll be as flush as you, but when I correct the tires, I won't be.

Resurrected...

Question for anyone who went ahead with this (including Loop, if you are still around).

How do you go about hub centering the wheels? Obviously the OEMs shouldnt be too much of an issue, although they wont sit on the little lip on the hub anymore, right? I assume these fit over the 66.1 center bore and then just run straight out with no lip on the outside? What are options for aftermarket wheels? Ive seen Project Kics kits that have spacers + these ridiculous looking hub centric rings that are like 2" wide so they fit through the spacer and into the wheel. How did you remedy this with this kit? Never thought about it this far until I actually started to consider purchasing. If they do in fact have a lip on the outside, excuse me for Im an idiot...

Im mainly interested in giving my aftermarket wheels a little extra push out since I run them 8 months of the year, but having the OEMS sit right doesnt hurt a bit either.

EDIT: Being the at times hyperactive Polish ritard that I am, I did not look at more than a handful of products and pictures. I went back in and checked out a couple more and for those that were wondering the same as me, it appears that most DO have an external lip to center the wheel. Still cant figure out what in hell those Project Kics rings are for though...

Poland out...

The Project Kics you're thinking of might be adapters for a different PCD or maybe they're 50mm spacers lol. When I had varrstoen wheels, they came with hubcentrinc rings, which go ontop of the hub, and then you put on the wheel. But when I got spacers for that setup, the hubcentric rings on the spacers AND the hubcentric rings from the aftermarket wheels wouldn't fit together. So I just used the rings for the spacers. You don't have to have hubcentric rings. But I think it's safer, and prevents you from getting vibrations from the bore size differences. I used non-hubcentric spacers for about 4 months with no problems.

I need hubcentric. Ive had so many issues with my wheels and vibration I could not drive without them. I wasnt sure if I had a defective wheel or what but it was a little ridiculous for a while. 5 Road Force tests couldnt fix it, it came down to the rings. I have to actually tape them to the inside of my wheel and then install it, rather than on the hub and then slide the wheel on. Otherwise, they dont reach far enough inside the wheels inner bore. Sounds crazy I know, but the truth.
