Back from alignment shop, 2 issues (and shouldnt be major)

#1 - tpms light is still on ( i supplied brand new dorman sensors) so I suspect they forgot to program or screwed something up

#2 - rear wheel caps wont click on, as the axle shaft sticks out too far and wont allow the center cap to click into place... I almost feel like I need wheel spacers regardless... i was worried about the wheels sticking out too far, but in fact I find they are a bit too "tucked in", so to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, Ill probably just add some wheel spacers.

If I was to try to grind down / cut off a bit of the threaded end of axle thats in the way, any advice on how to go about it? id be scared to use grinder to ruin nearby paint..... cant see a hacksaw being any fun either...

Issues aside, LOVE the new handling...

 

now that the original rims are off the car, was able to identify the make and specs.

Turns out they are Miro wheels, type 111. To no surprise there is a drastic different in offsets between them and the new ones.

MIRO - Front 15mm Rear 20mm
NEW RIMS - 45mm and 45mm ( rim shop was closing down, didnt have my choice of offset, took the smoking deal and ran)

So guess I need some big-*** spacers....

Now that said, i found the originals stuck out a bit far (especially concerned after lowering) so have pretty well decided ill go 5mm less.

Anyone know what the threshold is before you need longer / different studs?
