    Hubcentric just means that the bore on spacer is the same size as the hup so there is no slop. I can just measure the diameter of the step in the hub and make my spacers according. Would be made on a cnc just like the ones I would buy from somewhere.

    Be safe and get real hubcentric spacers from a reputable company, Mr. Jay above can help you in that department, I try to avoid spacers (for $$ reasons).

    They were like $450-600 NEW. Values have actually appreciated since supply is cut off.

    Pay if you like them.

    for good ole 205 wide tires on a 7" wide rim, et40 - 15mm spacer = 25 net offset should work fine. Sounds like a honda wheel. You'll spend a good chunk of change on 15mm spacers and longer wheel bolts.

    Okay. That is a good price for those wheels.

    Shoot for ET20. Offset 20.

    The end.

    look for a stamp or casting that say etxx with x's as numbers. The numbers are the offset. Sometimes that marking is on the back, the inner lip, inbetween lug bolt holes, etc. example et35 is offset 35

    Does it say on the wheel somewhere what the offset is?

    SWEET!!! Thanks for the tip.

    So spacers from tunnermotorsports? Also what size tired do you recommend for this size wheel.

    Also is $600 a good price for these wheels?

    Question thought i would post here since its along the same lines.

    Im looking at some Konig 16x7's they are kinda style 5 replicas i guess.

    anyway they are 4x100 with a +35mm offset. Does this mean i'll need 10mm spacers? And will i need Longer bolts too? Er no?... thanks alot.

    Hmmmm....thats intresting. It makes complete sense though, these cars are getting old!

    There pricey and you'll have to buy longer studs, lugs, and centering rings. try em without spacers first and see if you like it. You prolly wont but you can get away with it. They just look like there sucked inside the fenders. The wheels in my sig are 17x7 et38 with no spacer. Im assuming the inch less of rim you have isnt gonna change things to much!
    17's can have a higher offset than 16's. Also, your D2's have a lot of space for brakes, so it's not the same as the wheels that the thread starter is using.

    With that said, they *might* fit, but will look like shit. 15mm spacers would bring them out nicely, and would leave you with ET23, which is about pefect.
