      They'll actually mount without spacers, but look really odd. 15mm hubcentric spacers, 215/40/17 tires.

          specs:
          -(4) Borbet Type A 16x9's ET15
          -5mm spacers in the front, none in the rear (for now)
          -2 hubcentering rings on the front wheels ( i know i need 4, working on it)

          Problem:
          The car shakes VIOLENTLY from about 40-50mph.

          As i was at work tonight i was thinking... with the spacer up front the Hub Centric ring doesnt even fit itself around the hub.

          How do i fix this? Could it be as simple as a balance? im still worried about the spacer/ring situation though

          Please help me out, TIA.
          This is exactly why I either recommend 3mm or 15mm. Anything in between doesn't have a hubcentric lip and depending on the shape of the wheel's inner bore, does not have a secure contact with the hub of the car.

          You may need different rings, as there are Borbet 16x9 guys running around with 5mm spacers. Perhaps their hubcentric rings are less tapered. It could also be a balance issue, and I'll scratch out car issues since I'm assuming it didn't do this with other wheels at all.

            Thanks, Doug
            Rolling rolling rolling. That is a very aggressive setup, and WILL RUB unless you have a very stiff suspension (which you don't) in addition to rolled fenders.

            If you get 205/50/16's, there shouldn't be an issue.

              17mm offset rear.
              19mm offset front.

              Currently 22mm all around.

              Will I need longer lug nuts? And for clarification, whats the length of the stock ones?

              Planning on getting 57.1mm centerbore spacers instead of those universal ones.


              And Doug, its always beneficial to do a proper fender rolling with the right tool, its worth it, I know my fenders liked it!
              So you're going with 5mm spacers in the front? I wouldn't advise that. See above reply.

              You will need longer bolts for 5mm, I can't recall at the moment what the stock length is (thinking 45mm). But, I just plain tell people not to run 5mm anyways.

                No, but it will be close.

                  5mm in the rear, 3mm in the front.

                    Damn guy, who lists rear setup first?!

                    You'll need longer lugs. And you also won't see a damn lick of a difference, so what's your motivation?

                      Call the waahmbulance!

                      The only motivation is to have them sit closer to the fenders, more flush. Also trying to fix wheelshake at the same time.

                          You only need like 50mm. 65mm is 15mm+ spacer friendly.
