I got a set of 18"s from a fellow 202er and turns out the offset was 40. Long story short, I have 5mm spacers all around and it vibrates like hell on the freeway.

Whats the best way to handle it? hubcentric spacers(can't seem to find them in 5mm) or try to use em at et40?

is the offset 40 or 39?
i had 1.5s on my car with offset 39 and they fit fine

I dident use a spacer and they fit fine, try it

hey jnolte, these are the 1/5s i got from you! and they're et40 btw! Well i guess i'll try putting them on again without the spacers, thanks!

are you sure look on the back....

anyways, they should fit fine then, i ran them on my C43 with 235/40/18 all around no spacers.

you might want to go with a 225 tire though.

I was wondering if you ever got them, you never recieved my emails!

why dont you try without the spacers, you should be fine. if you absolutely want to use spacers you would need to find 5mm spacers made by Carlsson because i know those are different than your regualr 5mm you can get online. Otherwise you have to get 10mm ones since those have a lip.

my car's vibrating like hell too... but it's probably my caretaker of the car while i am way swapped my 18's off into 16's snows. it was a hell of a way driving back up north. what do you guys think the problems may be?
