    I went to bolt up my 16x8 AR racing wheels with 265/75 tires. However they didn’t clear the caliper. So I bolted on my 1.25 spacers and rubbed everything under the sun ☀️. After trimming to get all as well I realized I’d prefer them to tuck in more. I bought generic 1/4 spacers an now they clear the caliper however even with the hub centric rings (108mm centerbore wheels) I cannot get the vibrations to stop. An between 40-60 it feels like the wheels are coming off. Does anybody make 106mm 1/4 hubcentric spacers with a ring on them? Basically a cut down 1.25 with the front ring on.
    Thank you

    Thank you. That’s all I saw aswell. I think I may have cured it. I installed the hubcentric ring first, then the spacer, then the wheel. Now I put spacer, ring, wheel. An think it’s grabbing maybe an 1/8 of the hub at most but the quick test drive felt good. Now just for some longer studs cause even with the extended thread lugs I’m only getting 5-6 full turns. Not making me feel to cozy

    Yea be careful, the whole point of the hub center is not just to center the wheel, but to support most of the weight of the vehicle. You dont want the vehicle hanging on the studs. The studs/lugnuts are really only designed to hold the wheel to the face of the hub surface.

    Does anyone know how far out from the rotor the matrix studs will stick out? Trying to determine if I would still be able to you my et lugs I have now.
