Hubcentric rings+spacers?? what to do?

Im getting a new set of wheels.. +40 offset im trying to be at 35+, so im assuming 5mm spacers should take care of that.
With only 5mm.. i should be fine on stock studs correct? Also
what do i do about the hub centric part?? is there a certain spacer i need for my car or how do i go about a spacer AND making it centered?? let me know thanx!

talk to the tire store in person for an explanation of all these terms

centric rings are for matching diameter of hub on car- to center of new rim,
that way they get installed perfectly straight on the hub

Combination I've never seen. Once you move the center bore of the wheel out from the hub, the only way the wheel will be centered is with the lugs.

a 5mm h&r spacer hubcentric to 64.1 will still require a hub centric ring with the outer diameter of hte wheel hub and a 64.1 inner

or you could do what I do... go to wheeladapter.com and buy hubcentric inner and outer spacers which eliminate the hubrings and all chances of rubbing... pm me if you have any questions
