lol guys im really stupid as you can tell by this:

so as i mentioned took the 5mm spacer and wheel and got it mounted at the shop. car was raised and they mounted the spacer, hub ring and wheel with work lug nuts. my offset goes from +42 to +37 with a 5mm spacer. While raised we turned the wheels left and right completely (left driver wheel was mounted) and it did not rub.

I did not have them lower the car and try to turn the wheel. Was this a mistake? im worried now the +37 (since bert is running +38) might rub even though i am not lowered (tires are 245/40/19 on ps2's with stock suspension).

**** im stupid

 

I get it now, thanks!

 

You'll be fine, I had the same exact tires in the same exact size and ran a +35 offset with a different set of rims and it wasn't a big issue. This is on a lowered suspension. I admit it did rub, rarely, and only if I was going over a sizeable dip, at freeway speeds, and while turning the wheel. No dips, no problem.

 

well my buddy just called me and said listen - bring the wheels over tomorrow to his place and we r going to his tyre mounting place. they will test to see if the rubbing occurs professionally at no charge

thanks though for the info. im relieved to know i wont rub unless im lowered (no intentions of lowering it for now) but ill still get it tested out just cuz im ****

 

I was going to use the spacers with a set of M45 wheels I had, I sold the wheels before even mounting them on my car.

You shouldn't rub with the 5mm spacer. I have a +38 on the front and IMO it's still not quite as flush as the rear is. Also this is about 1/2" clearance between the back of the wheel and the control arm (i think it's called the control arm...)

 

well i took the wheel back to the shop and had it fit and it doesnt rub with the hub ring and spacer. however I do need longer bolts as the stock ones only allow 1inch to stay out. i need atleast .5 inch more to be 100% safe. so will order the h&r with longer bolts

anyone know of a bolt replacement guide?

 

Have you considered getting spacers with the bolts built-in so you can change them yourself at will. I was looking at getting the Project Kics to clear the OEM Brembo's w/ my stock 17's. I'm just not sure if the bolts are built in the smller one's though. Maybe someone else can shed some light.

 

i need 5mm. kics doesnt sell 5mm with built in bolts. i cant go 10mm cuz that would bring my sedan offset to 32 and thats harsh!

 

well i finally got the HR spacers in today. Thanks to Jason from Riverside for a sweet deal.

Will skip a day off work to get these babies installed.

 

very cool wanna see some pics with the wheels on by the way where are you know uae or boyton?

 

In UAE now

man if i was in boynton i would have had the wheels up a long time ago. Its pretty hard to get parts here in time in dubai. took me 2 weeks to get these spacers via USPS Express Post. + the expertise when it comes to these wheels + offsets etc is lacking here - very very few people know their **** in this country.

 

not to be rude but, you don't "mount wheels to tires".... you mount tires to wheels...

 

yeah i did that. did i say it the other way around?

 

Am mounting the wheels o Friday with the HR spacers + longer bolts + work open ended lug nuts. I will use the WORK hub centric rings as well - or should I skip it? The spacers are NOT hub centric because they are only 5mm.

 

You still use the rings because the hub will still protrude past the spacer slightly, but that depends on if the rings have a chamfered edge on the inside
