    HELP: Anyone in Columbus have spacers I can try out??

    Hey guys,
    I tried to put one of my wheels on today and can't really tell if they are fitting well or not. Our OEM lugs don't even go through the wheel so it woun't bolt up.

    I need some help, I really don't know what to look for. So if anyone in Columbus has experience with longer lugs, spacers and has a set I can try out, just to test fit the wheels, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I really am trying to figure it out but I don't have a garage here and really don't know what to look for.

    Anyone willing to help me out? I will bring lunch or a case a beer to anyone that is willing to spend an hour or so showing me what I need and helping me test fit the wheels.

    PM me if you are intersted.

    Thanks
    DJ

    What is the width and offset of the wheels you are trying?

      The wheels are 17x7's, et40. I know I need a 20mm spacer and longer lugs but don't have the money right now and I want to make sure the centerbore is correct.

      I believe it is but this weekend I tried to bolt one up and there is 3 levels of what the hub could stop at. And the one that it is reaching is way too big. But its not getting all the way to the hub.

      The most outter hole is the 57 but I really have not dealt with spacers and just want to make sure everything is alright with someone that actaully knows what to look for and expect.

          The picture is what you would see if you look from the inside (closest to the car) outward.

            Here is what the hub will "look at" before going in. The most farthest ring is 57 and then the center cap bottom.
