    318is spacers

    Would a '90 325 use a different spacer than a '91 318is? I bought wheels and the seller included spacers but the outside diameter of the spacer seems to be too small. Any ideas?

      Should the spacer cover the entire lip of the hub or will there be a bit of a lip left over that the spacer doesnt cover?

        Does the spacer cover the mounting surface of the wheel? If so then no problem.

          Loooooose the spacers and get the right size wheels... sell those wheels to a Honda for more than you payed and pick something else up

            They are 16x7 SSR comps. Please stop assuming I am trying to use honda wheels. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures then I will show you what is happening.

              Are they the custom 10mm ones? You'll pretty much know because they are actually 10mm spacers with a hubcentric lip on the wheel side (which Tirerack is the sole supplier of).

                I am currently in NC and my pops is trying to install them in OH. I think by the looks of the picture he is trying to install them backwards. I will get this straightened out and fixed. Thanks for the help Mystikal.

                  Upon seating the spacer against the wheel or the hub the hub-centric part does not sit flush into either the hub or wheel. There is a lop-sided gap between either.

                  I am assuming the spacer should fit right into the wheel/hub without a lot of force. Should just fit right in there.

                  (how does one post a pic without a website?????????)
