So as some of you may have mentioned in my other thread ill most likely need hubcentric rings. You were right. Wheels bores way bigger. Very noticeable on the highway. I have the wheels on the car now without the rings. Will cause any damage? Do i want metal rings or are plastic fine? Should i order em online or can i just buyem somewhere?

 

Probably online will be cheaper and plastic is fine. As for running without them, be very careful - its easy to mount them slightly off center, which can stress and break them. Happened to me with the Volk AV3s I ran on my 300ZX. You're best waiting til you get the rings though.

 

Theyre already on the car and the stock wheel tires bald/ leaking. I guess ill just order them asap and hope for the best. Thanks.

 

Sooo can I find the wheels hub specs anywhere inside the rim or anything online? Or do I have to measure it? I dont have a vernial caliper or anything like that unfortunately.

 

Stock hub bore on a B5 is 57.1mm. You're gonna have to figure out the bore on your wheels though. Where did you buy them? What brand are they? Can you take a pic of the inside of the center section of one of the wheels.?

 

I bought them on craigslist. They are 17x8 BBS Moda Sports. I guess Ill take one of them off and take a pic. Such a pain in the *** to line it up without the rings though lol.

 

Forgive my retardedness. The guy gave me these with the wheels but i think my lugs were to short to tge wheel and these on or just forgot i had these. he said they were spacers.


I know hubcentric rings are supposed to be more like this : http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...PUBMAY&dur=367

But these look almost like adaptors and spacers combined? Or am I just confused and if you get spacers you dont need rings? Im new to all this stuff so any help would be appreciated. Do I need longer wheel lugs/bolts to put these on?

Thanks, Sheasta

 

bump. Need this sorted out.

 

Those are hub centric/wheel centric spacers. Looks to be about 10mm, get some extended bolts if you want to run those.

 

Ok thanks. So I should just go to like advance auto or something like that and ask for extended bolts.
