So i bought a set of gold sti wheels, 17x8 +45 and 5x114.3. I went to put them on and realized they had a smaller center bore of 56.1 than acura 64.1.

Would using a spacer solve this issue? Was also wondering if the studs would be too short if i were to use spacers.

 

i almost did the same thing!! i was thinking to have the centers machined but then decided to just not get the wheels. i think studs will be ok but that depends on how big of a spacer u use

 

You could get a hubcentric spacer (if you wanted too) that has a center bore of 56.1. And then just use a hubcentric ring with a 56.1 inner and a 64.1 outter to make it fit with no play! And please, if you do go the spacer route....install teh extended studs that come with them. It is the safest way to go, you would hate turning a sharp corner going 30 mph, and your wheel fall off due to your lug nuts not having enough bite on your studs! Any other info...just send me a PM bro!

 

Thanks for the responses. A 5mm spacer shall do the job right?

 

that would work but its the other way around. the rim's hole is too small (56.1) then our hubs (64.1). someone suggested to get it machined which means to widen the hole on the rim.
