RSK4??? Quick question...

I recently bought a set of RSK4 rims 18x8'' and 9'' et44... I'm a little confused... Is the offset with or without the oem 17mm spacer??? I'm trying to figure out what size spacers I will need to put to get the proper offset.

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm sorry but what wheel would need a 17mm spacer?? have you done this on a Benz before.. If not.. look out. I see two problems there.. One is lugs.. Two is vibration because of the very sensitive 66.56 hub bore...

Also Spacers don't actually change the wheel ofsett, they just change how far the wheel sits away from the hub.SO thats off set. not offset..

Don;t know the wheel style but a ET 44 seems about 9 or 10mm strong for an 18. Unless its going on an NSX.

Look I bought a set of Lorinser RSK4 18x8 and 18x9...I was told these wheels need the oem spacers that go with it and they are 17mm...I imagine that maybe you can put another size spacer but the only one spacer I have with these wheels is 17mm...
