Looks Great. Information on 3mm spacer - Who makes it? Being so small are they really Hub-Centric? I need a 4mm spacer. Thanks.
unfortunately, it is a little tricky to have a hub-centric spacer smaller than 8mm. i learned the hard way.
first, your hub sticks out about 8mm. so in order for them to be hub-centric, you have to go beyond that 8mm, before you taper back to the hub size. that is why you mostly see 10mm + spacer for our cars.
my car was an early production c32, from what i have been told, other c32 front hubs are not like mine. no amount of pounding will get a spacer such as H&R on my front hub. rears will fit. my front hub does not tapper at all and sticks out about 25mm+?
so, for my previous wheels (lm5 replicas), i had a bigger hole bored into the front wheels and a hub-centric spacer made for the bigger bored hole. that worked out well, but now those wheels cannot be used without spacers (unless you want some vibration). in retrospect, i don't think i needed to do that since my hub extended so far.
so in my case, a 3mm non-hub-centric is probably fine, since the wheels still sits nicely on the hub.
having said that, there are some wheels (lorinser lm-5) that would either require and hub-centric spacer or a centering ring. this is my assumption since i originally purchased lorinser spacers for my car. they fit over the hub perfectly, but hub-centric wheels will not fit on the spacer! the spacer hub was too big. so i assume that lorinser wheels have center bores that are a little larger than the stock hub. so i think this is the case when you hear about 4mm hub-centric spacers. they are probably made specifically for their respective wheels.
anyone can feel free to correct me if i am wrong, this is only my unprofessional experience.
so, i think you may be ok if you hub extends far enough that your wheels still sit solidly on the hub.
next time i take my wheels off, i will take pictures as an example.

one piece wheel.
i don't have anything to compare the so3's to. the only other tire i had were the 17 inch pilot sports. comparing a 17 to an 18 would not be appropriate. having said that, i don't have any complaints about the tires or the wheels.
i hate the ride though. way too rough. i may switch the springs back to stock, or maybe just the rear springs back to stock.

Did you change the shocks? The springs alone doesn't give you a rough ride. If you changed your shocks to adjustables, they will make the ride rougher, unless you leave them in the softest setting.
