    anyone know where to get some hubcentric spacers for our cars?? i have 09 lancer gts. i just bought some Motegi rims with a +45 offset and our cars have +38.
    I guess id be looking at a 10mm spacer

    thanks

    oops my mistake!! I had bought some rims off American Eagle and they had told me that a 35 offset would be the best choice in the rim that i chose. soooo i assumed that was our offset.
    I guess i would just need a spacer to bring my new rims flush. Anyone know where to grab these??

    Really? because with my 350z i had put spacers on to flush the wheels and there was no shaking at all. Is it just a lancer thing?

    What size are those rims?
    I'm asking because I'm getting 17x8 offset +45 which I believe should be the optimal offset for that rim and you got me a little worried. Did you try to fit the wheels and had problems?

    No problems with fitment. i just love the look of wheels/tires flush to the body. my last rims were +35 and it was perfect, now that i have a higher offset they are inset a bit.
