Wheel fitment help...

[BoostedVR4]

I'm having a very hard time finding help to this question, maybe you guys can assist.

I've got my wheels. ADR Version II's. They are 18x9 J with a 35mm offset. The back ones fit perfect. Now for the front. You can slide the wheel on, of course it hits the caliper.

Ok, they (WheelsBoutique) sent some spacers (looked like washers to me) 1/4 inch. You put one of those on, and the wheel still hits the caliper, BUT its like a hair off. I mean, a little more than a 1/4 inch and it will work.

So, my next question. What about the studs? They look like they are getting short even with that 1/4 spacer.

What do I do? I've heard about the centric hub spacer, but I don't know what it does, how its different than the washer type they sent, or where to get them, or even what kind to get.

I could use some quick help, the shop has my wheels sitting there, and we're going to try and figure out what to do by tomorrow. He's going to call Wheels Boutique, but they are the ones who said they would fit in the first place.

Aftermarket wheels are generally sized to fit the largest possible hub so that the same wheel will fit many types of vehicle.

Hubcentric rings match the diameter of your aftermarket wheel’s hub opening to your actual hub size. You must know the exact measurement of both to get the right rings. There is some disagreement as to how important hubcentric rings are but some feel they are essential for proper wheel balance and vehicle safety.

They're cheap. Get 'em.

The washer type spacers are not recommended. They do not distribute weight or steering forces very well. Get spacers rings that are sized to fit exactly over your studs providing a broad mounting surface area.

Well, the hubcentric spacers are on the way, I dunno about cheap tho from H&R, about $130.

umm, when I said cheap I meant about $20 for hubcentric rings. These are not the same as spacers. I don't know what wheel spacers should cost but I suspect the word "cheap" does not apply to them.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but where could I get the wing off that gold eclipse, with the cyber front? it looks like a supra bomex wing. do they produce this wing for 2g dsms, or would I have to get a supra one and modify it? please let me know people
