Hi all,
I recently purchased a 2005 limited roadster, and noticed the back caliper cover was loose (rattling). I removed the wheel and tightened up the caliper cover and noticed I have the dreaded “non hub centric” spacers. I was able to find the rims online to get the specs of them, but I am not sure what I can do to rectify this. These are the specs for the rims and I noticed only the rear have spacers so the fronts must be centered by the lugs. Will I be able to make this safe, because I really like the look of the rims.
Thanks for all your help,
Carl
Alrighty, So I see I can get hub rings for the front that are 66.6 Id and 73.1 od. Then I believe I just need a set of rear hub centric spacers that are 66.6 Id and 73.1 od in the same thickness as the spacer I have on the rear now ( of course I didn’t measure it when I had it off). Does this seem about right and any idea if/where I could purchase these?Thanks again, Carl

Reason: Misinformation
So after further research, I can get 66.6 id / 73.1 od hubcentric rings. Can I just use those on front and 66.6 hubcentric spacers on the rear with the rings to be good or do they make 66.6 id / 73.1 od hubcentric spacers for the rear? Trying to do the research myself and not bother you folks too much. I truly appreciate the assistance...
Thanks, Carl

wow lots of issues here.you need to correct the hub bore in the front for sure.66.5 is correct with the 35mm offset witch you have.bolt pattern is 5X112.the rear offset should be 22mm not 35.so the correct hub centric spacer should fix that problem if you can find one that will correct the hub bore size.
Thanks for the reply, are the crossfire hubs 66.5 or 66.6? My thought is to put 66.6 id to 73.1 od hub centric rings with no spacer up front to keep them centered. Then in the rear I believe I can get hubcentric spacers with a 66.6 id and 66.6 od that I can again use the 66.6 to 73.1 hub ring on...seem correct?

Awesome, so if my calculations are correct I can use my front rims with just the addition of a hub centric ring to change from 66.6 to 73.1.
Then regarding the rear if I use hub-centric spacers 15 mm thick with a 5x112 bolt pattern and 66.6 center bore I can use hub centric rings to change that to 73.1 and I should be perfect...
