need opinions for wheel fitments
good day hebrues and shebrues,
i am currently in the market for some new shoes and was looking into the EURO 63 RS wheels in 19"s.. so far ive found out that they make front offset ET-30 and rear offset ET-35.. if the wheels 101 class has served me well, my guess is i will need 3-5mm spacers for the front wheels to clear the AMG calipers.. ive never had to use spacers and i am wondering what the pros and cons are for this spacer mcthingy.. also if anyone has any nice wheels for sale can you pm me or post pics..? thanks..

Spacers are a week long argument.
There was a thread last week that was real informative from awheel guy who recommended longer wheel studs for spacers 10mm and over.
Also advised getting a lip on a hubcentric spacer to take the weight of the wheel off the studs and instead places it over the hub evenly. With a 5mm spacer you wont have the lip feature as well as not having to get longer studs.
What is a Euro63RS rim? not familiar with it.....
BTW

check the wheels out.. i love the way they look but i just dont know about the quality of them.. nice rx-7, my cousin just got his stolen a couple of weeks ago.. it was a white 1995 rx-7 with a couple of mods, freekin fast..!!
maybe ill let these wheels go since i definitely want to use hubcentric rings on any set of wheels for the ride diffrence.. i guess i didnt catch the thread, i searched for c32 wheel offset and found just a handfull.. or maybe i was just looking in the wrong places..

the euro63 reps/Monarchs should not need spacers.
only in extreme cases et30 wouldn't clear the calipers. those should be fine. however none has run them on the W203 with BBK from what I've seen.
as for spacers. H&R does make the 5mm spacer. they are still hubcentric on their own, but do not have the extra ring for the rim. with only a 5mm the dust cap should be long enough to support any wheel hub.
make sure you get quality bolts and skip chrome bolts.

remembered when we were talking about how sexy these wheels are...and yes i have not yet seen them on a W203, im hella busy and not time at all to go shopping for wheels..but lately ive been interested on the Sport Edition ST5 (Antartite inners) or ST4 (Gun Metal) on tirerack.com but the EuroC63 are badass!
