    Hubcentric?

    Hi,

    Wondering whether the wheels on our cars are hub- or lug-centric? Interested in mounting some 10mm spacers to make the stance a tad more aggressive.

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the info. So is it okay to run hubcentric spacers from, say, H&R?

    I would highly recommend a quality spacer from H&R but not some no name Ebay vendor. Make sure that you use the appropriate length wheel bolts. I think the stock bolts are approx. 30mm so you need to add the width of the spacers on the stock wheel bolt length when ordering new bolts. Stock bolts are Ball seat, most but not all aftermarket are Conical seat bolts. ECS Tuning has a good selection of both types of bolts in various lengths and of the right strength (10.9). Not cheap at about $2.50 per bolt, maybe there will be a holiday sales.

    Thanks. I ordered H&R spacers that use their own bolts to mount to the car and are then threaded for the factory lugbolts.
