If they are 8" wide and +35 offset you will be great on the front. The back will work fine as well but the wheels will be in further than the stock ones. That and the fact of going down to 17, the back wil look strange IMO but you said looks dont matter so you should be good to go with the correct lug bolts. Take a bolt and stick it through the wheel and measure how long the threads are sticking out the back. If between 1/2 and 3/4", should be good. Are the wheels ball or taper holes? If ball hole, try your stock lugs and see how far they stick out. You HAVE to have correct OD on the lug bolts and overall length needs to be right at 1/2" sticking through the back of the wheel.

 

Quick question. I put 5mm "allegedly" hubcentric spacers on the front --- resulted in horrible vibration at 40mph and higher. Removed them -- no vibration.

Back has 10mm hubcentric spacers and no issues.

Does anyone know about anything special I need to do to properly mounte the 5mm spacers? The 10mm spacers have a central hub; the 5mm spacers do not.

 

Yeah, take em back where you got em and make em give you hubcentric spacers!

 

5mm arent thick enough to be hubcentric. take a 10mm and machine it down

 

Thanks. That's what I thought I had read somewhere in posts about wheels/tires. Any good machine shop have the ability to machine them down to 5 or 7 mm?

 

Me again. I went back and checked just about every other hubcentric spacer advertised at 5mm --- Eibach, H&R, Ichiba, etc. They all look the same --- no central hub. Why do they say hubcentric with our XF in the fitment guide? Is there anyone who makes a pair that are 5mm with a central hub?
