    damn guys i am havin a hard time with these rims so i have the 18 inch lexus rims staggered 5 stars 8 inch wide in the front and 8.5 in the rear i finally got tires and went to put the rears on and the hub hole isnt big enough, i thought from reading on this forum that i would only have this problem on the front and this would be cured with spacers wich i got, so im really trying to avoid homing them out sorry i know that is not how u spell it but watever, anyway , does anybody have any other ideas i have ground down the hubs on my d50 for the same exact reason any help is good help thanks in advance guys you all r a ton of help... oww yea the rims r the same ones macwallian has or had, sorry for butchering your name buddy im sure i did , just in case anybody was wonderin eactly wat they look like

    Mac had 350Z wheels i think.
    or maybe IS300.

    I say find a set of 1" bolt on spacers.

    Yeah, most members ran a 1" spacer to clear the hub. It's either that or just get the wheel centers bored open a tiny bit.
    my 1.25" (30mm) spacers are a bit overkill for most of us, but a 3/4th or 1 inch bolt on spacer should help you a bit.

    butchering... haha no biggie

    No other way around it. Either get spacers or bore them (67.06mm).
    New thought, sell yours and come down to San Diego and buy my old ones. SDYOTA owns them now.

    good luck:waytogo:

    if you run 1/4" inch spacers they will clear. you can find the spacers at pep boys or auto zone. they are cheap and will allow you to clear the wheels without going much wider.
