im running 225 and 255.
so i called the place that i bought my wheels from. they are sending me a free 3mm spacer. needless to say i am unhappy with them. i asked if these wheels would fit and they said yes. after i said that i frequent a forum and a guy with the same wheels in 18s needs a spacer the guy almost got an attitude with me saying "sir, this isnt the first time weve done this." i call and tell them i need a 5mm spacer and the guy tells me he will send me a 3mm and it will work. im pretty sure the one they are gonna send me will be one of those with big generic lug pattern holes. so i think im gonna fork out the money for a 5mm h&r. i think the 3mm would clear by a kunt hair but im weary about the wheel flexing while turning.
any input?

I think it looks great. It seems to be getting more and more difficult to find an original wheel that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and fits our cars. Great job.
