Does anybody know if a 5mm H&R spacer needs to be machined to fit or be hubcentric or anything to fit right?
I was told their 5mm spacers aren’t hubcentric although their larger ones are.
I bought a set of staggered 18 x 8.5/9.5 wheels and my car is not lowered or anything. Unfortunately it appears my front wheels will need a spacer so I ordered a 5mm H&R spacer. The manufacturer says for the rear the wheel takes a 27mm (thread length) bolt. I was told that I could use my stock bolts with the 5mm spacer up front. Doing the math, for the front the length should be 27mm + 5mm =32mm. I believe the stock bolt length is 39mm
Is there extra room to for the stock length bolt considering it seems it should use a 32mm bolt with these VM9 wheels and 5mm spacer?

Fast Cars!
FREE SHIPPING on all HRE wheels + New Models!
Free Shipping on all HRE wheels until December 1st! (Lower 48 states only)
Also for those who are not aware HRE has introduced 2 totally new wheel lines. The 590R series and the 890R series. The new wheels are supposed to be lighter and stronger then the old wheels. These will slowly replace the 540R and 840R series.
The absolute best news is about the biggest change in the pricing! The 590R and 890R series are the same price! and you do not pay extra for the width wheel you choose. Even better is there is NO CHARGE extra for ANY finish anymore such as FULL POLISH which use to be $600 , chrome, clear coat and the BRUSHED ALUMINUM WITH CLEAR COAT use to be over $900 now it is FREE option! Polished lip, or even chrome lip no charge either. They use to offer HRE metal etched center caps as an option for $60 each! Now those are a Free option too! Almost sounds too good to be true!
If anyone wants to see pictures or more info on the new wheels, you can go to HRE's website here http://www.hrewheels.com/wheels/series2.asp?series=890R
Here are also some pics of the 590R and 890R series I took at the SEMA show of the wheels in person.

590R Series
Since pricing does vary, please email me for a quote or if you have any questions at neal@euroteckmotorsports.com
Besides the Free shipping we will offer until December 1st, we also do free mouthing and balancing on wheel and tire packages as well as include free lugbolts. So all you pay for is the wheels and tires if you want them. No sales tax unless you are in Florida.
Thanks!

The True OG Modded out W203
A WHILE back! Saw you jumping around from the CLK to the CLS to the Viper and I am sure a Ferrari is waiting in the cut so I decided you Neelio can't be the only one having all the fun! Next year hopefully I will turn in the A6 for a 650 vert Alpine white on Cinammon!

LMAO! Trust me, I don't see a Ferrari coming in the next few year the way it looks now!
Do you still have you C-class? I wasn't sure if you sold it or not? Btw, any mods on the Rover? I am sure you do since i have not seen you roll in many stock cars before!
I love the RR Sport.EDIT: Nevermind i see you said you sold the C-class!!!!! OMG i can't believe its gone! Who was the lucky buyer? and when did it sell?
