Done it many times on wheels I didnt have the right rings for. > > If anyone calls BS, I will drive my brothers A4 we just put on air to your house, remove one wheel and prove there isnt a hubcentric ring at all in there. Install them lug centric and take you down the road at 100mph… zero vibrations. never really thought that would work, its cut to the face now ( flush ) but i thought it would be safer to run with a hubcentric lip, so i figured maybe it needed just a 5mm lip so the 10 would be cut down to a 5mm with the lip and the 20 would be a 15mm with a lip. spacers and extended lugs were like 300 if i remember correctly, sucks to pay that again if i dont have to or i can pay 100 bucks to get them cut down and the lip made --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/any-good-machine-shops/260820)._
