Wheel Spacers (4-5mm)

[Silverstreak98]

So I just got some new wheels (VMR VB3), and they just barely rub in the back.

Obviously I need some spacers, but I'm not sure what kind or if it is safe getting spacers as small as 4-5mm.

I've heard that 4-5mm spacers are not hubcentric....is this a problem? Also the wheels came with hubcentric rings if that makes a difference.

Also do I need longer lug bolts, and if so what size? (Just stock 28mm? + 5mm?)

Yikes...not sure what to do, TIA!

I run 5 mm spacers in the front and 10mm hub centric spacers in the rear 5mm you still have enough of the hub to set the rim on which is fine. I do tho recomend that you get some longer lugs just for safety. They say just add the size of the wheel spacer to your stock lugs ( which is 28) so you would need at least a 33mm lug or something close to that

BTW these wheels are 18x8.5 with ET40

you running upgraded brakes?
I wanted these rims but due to exactly this issue I'm not.
Anyone running Hartmann M1 ?

Nope stock brakes, hopefully a 4mm spacer will fix this problem...

Yeah I just put on my rims too and the back wheels can't fit the center caps because there's not enough room. But I have some new Audi center caps coming so I hope those will fit since I want to run those anyway.
