I have the new batch, +13 offsets. I'm pretty sure they didn't come with hubcentrics and if they "need" them, I won't be using any.

if you just ordered the wheels they would come with them. if you ordered a package, they would be in one of the boxes.
and are you clear on what they are? its not a spacer... the bore of aftermarket wheels, including xxrs, are usually larger than the bore of you hub, so you need the rings to fill the gap so everything fits.

Thanks. I know what hubcentrics are and I have had several sets of aftermarket wheels in my day and have never had issues with NOT running hubcentrics. I didn't see any in the boxes for my wheels but then again, I didn't take everyone of them out of the box b/c I'm still waiting to get tires and complete my air ride kit. If they're in there I'll use 'em. If they're not, I won't.

The hub bore for the 526 is 73.1mm while the hub bore for the car is 66.1mm. You're looking at a 1/4" difference...

yeah a 1/4" of an inch difference that has constant changing pressure from a 50lb wheel rotating on it at 60+mph ... yea id want that gap filled. Its not safe to drive like that.

if you just ordered wheels with no tire package you wont have them... its $10 you should buy them

It'll be just fine. The lug nuts are tapered and will seat the wheel to the hub by way of the 5 lug studs. The only benefit to having hubcentrics is that it helps to center the wheel before u install the lug nuts. If u install the lug nuts and torque them in the correct pattern the wheel will be centered on the hub.

Guys I need your advice.. I really want to purchase these rims soon.

I am dropped on springs and have my fenders rolled...

I am interested in going with the 20x9 20x11 +15/+15 or the +13/+13
Are the +13 more aggressive?

Also what size tire should I order... I do not want a stretched look... F: 245 / R: 275 or 285 sound good?

Please help me out thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no stretch go for 285s in the rear and 245s up front.
+13 is slightly more aggressive than the 15s
if you buy them new i dont think you have an option of 13 or 15, i think they just come in 13 now.

if you do 285s... you might need to give the fenders a small pull, but youll be alright to go ahead and order them. if you look back a few pages youll see my car with 285s on them

Thanks a lot...

I think I am going with 255 in the front...

I dont ever ride with anyone in the back seat nor carry a lot of dead weight...

I hope the rolled fenders will do the job for the 285 in the back...

Btw I am getting 35 front and back

I think I'll listen to you guys and just go with F 245/35 and R 275/35

Small stretch but I'll avoid having to pull the fenders and just have them rolled.
