Exclamation Urgent help needed!

Urgent help needed peeps!

Just mounted a set of 19” AMG Style II alloy on a 208,

Fronts 8.5*19-et46
Rears 9.5*4*-et46

Both fronts and rears require spacers, the rears are mounted on 15mm H&R spacers that fit perfectly, the front however are sitting on (currently) 10mm spacers.

Now the problem is, the front wheels are not sitting hub-symmetric (not completely flush against the hub). This is causing major vibrations from the front two wheels at around 40mph onwards!

Does any one know if there are spacers available for the 208 that will fit perfectly similar to the HR? the desired size should be 10mm?

Rear HR Spacers,



Front spacers, NOT hub-symmetric




the current setup,


THANKS!
