I think you would be much happier with the fitment and look with the wheel gap gone. As for the vibration, that should not be happening. We have installed countless sets of wheel spacers and a vibration is not something that should have happened. I would check 1 of 2 things. 1st make sure the hubcentric rings were installed with the wheels. Otherwise there may be something off with the spacer install. Nonetheless, the wheels look amazing

I def. understand what you mean with scraping, when I was younger, I bottomed out my RSX but I had a very low drop it was like 2 inches. When I get my Volk's I'll prob. go with the Eibach kit.

LOL... okay. Man I was hoping I didn't need to drop my car like the 350Z. I'll look into getting a set of Eibach Pro set sometime next year.
As for tires, I may try to get 255/40 and 285/35... just a tad worried about the rear fenders. The hub centric rings were initially installed on the wrong wheels. I told the installer two of each for the front wheels only, so he moved them over and tapped them in. Do you think the rings were in too deep?

We also just got some TEIN S-Tech's in as well. Let us know when you are ready, and Ryan can get a set out.
![]() The hub rings sometimes need some persuasion to install, but as long as he installed one per hub, you should be fine.

![]() Just to double-check, so even the rear wheels need the ring as well? This is how my installer had the first place, but I thought he got it wrong. Also, it has to go all the way inside?

The hub ring always goes on the hub. Some spacers are hubcentric and don't need the hub ring. It should be pretty clear. Either it fits or it doesn't. Call me or Ryan if w can clarify further.

POST #1 Revised with higher quality photos!
Ah okay I misunderstood the instructions since I never dealt with hub rings. I thought it was convenient to insert the rings into the wheel before mounting it. I'll try to make an "emergency" appointment with my dealer tomorrow to get this fixed. [sigh] Thanks again guys... beautiful aggressive wheels.

I woke up around 7AM (whoopee for vacation haha) to make the "emergency" call to get everything fixed. I guess the front wheels don't need the hub rings due to the spacers. Casual drive is stable now with virtually no vibration, but I've not exceeded 45mph.
