Dos preguntas

Primero pregunta, I got my new set of wheels in last Friday. I just noticed today that all of the wheels are stamped with 5x120... and I freaked out a little. So I busted out the tape measure, and they all measure 4.5. Why would they be different? Just mis stamped from the factory?

Segundo pregunta, these are all +20 offset. I am lowered on DF210s (about 1.5" drop all around). I want to get 20mm spacers for all of em, but I also don't wanna rub. Should I play it safe and go +5 up front and 0 in the rear?

Forgot to mention that! Fenders are not rolled, nor do I feel like rolling them at this time. Maybe later on if I get a better offset wheel I will. Wheels sizez/tire sizes are 19x8.5 w/ 245-35-19 and 19x9.5 w/ 275-35-19

throw them on first without spacers and you should be able to judge what you need

It depends on the sentence ( context ). The way you are using it though is with an a.

If it's stamped 5x120...I doubt it's a misprint. Measuring tapes aren't exactly accurate and the difference would be a mere 5.7 millimeters .

I know, I need to go pull a wheel off and see if they actually fit. I'm gonna hate having to wait to get new ones, ugh

They will most likely go in since the difference is so little. Put on Nut on and tighten it and see if the rest are centered.
