Default Re: New Wheels in, need help

Thanks for the wheel compliments, they just point out how dirty the inner wheel wells are

Max, thanks for doing the math on our differences. I have 20mm spacers so I will have the tires mounted this weekend and try my spacers for fitting.

MikeR, I will fit the 20mm spacers tonight and this weekend so you may not need to let me borrow your 10mm spacers afterall.

Silverwolf, you had the same problems that I had waiting on these. I was calling every two days to get status updates. I was told this is the first set sold in Texas at least. I had the hardest time spening money too, discount and TSW tried talking me out of them several times. Where did you get your spacers from? I went with H&R hub centric. I was nervous about the 5mm ones (that I thought were going to be needed) since they aren't offered in hub centric. Also, I not only verified with the manufacturer (through discount because they don't spec it out on the website) about tappered/conical as well as verifying when I installed them. Very few aftermarket wheels have the mercedes factory ball seat wheel bolts.

The center cap works on the rear but not the front. The hub/bearing cap sticks out too far. I don't know if I shlould leave the TSW cap off and just paint the factory hub/bearing cap black, or try and find a lower profile one.
