What width and offset are your wheels? Because fitting spacers may make them not fit...

You know wheel spacers will make the car non-roadworthy?

QFT - Non-roadworthy, uninsured, and illegal - and almost certainly dangerous.
Either get em redrilled (potentially possible but I wouldn't), or sell them and buy a set that are 5x100 and the right offset. |

99% of wheel modifications are illegal, unroadworthy, uninsurable and "almost certainly dangerous", and no seems to mind about those?

But let's face it if you have a ding, even if the wheel isn't involved, your insurance company (those nice understanding folk) can and will refuse to pay out. May well make the minor saving on wheels into a major cost. Eg. re-drilling it's legal but I still wouldn't do it. Different strokes for different folks |

been patiently browsing the RAYS catalogue, myself... I have some nice, correct offset 5x114.3 (offset will be compensated for by spacers) but they're not going on...
