Votblinfail - audi centerbore = 57.1mm now find out what the lorinser is, and order a hubcentric ring for them.

@votblindub

well, the rims are as straight as can be, thats a BIG plus. they said the issue is possibly tires because they seem to wobble as they spin and i also need spacers. like NEED spacers because the wheel doesnt sit flush enough with the hub and the Lorinser center bore is much wider than the OEM one, so it needs a spacer to sit there to make it flush. Brett, Pete, Nick(or anyone that knows) do you guys know if they make spacers that have OEM bore on the inside and a different one on the outside or something that will help me? I dont need tremendously big spacers either. Theyre going to need to be about a finger wide. I obv cant give you an exact number as I need to get the new suspension in before taking measurements. Help?

you have been in the car world how long?and ya dont know or do check that when installin wheels:thumbup

lol same for mk2’s iirc. little ass bore… us bimmer guys are 72.5 except for the e39- 74.1mm

my guess is the benzo kicks are similar to the bmw bore size.

post some pics :tongue

i had them on the altima. they sucked at everything. they were noisy, didn’t absorb bumps, had no grip when warm, cold, wet, or dry. and they didn’t have very good treadwear.

honestly? never thought that centerbore differences would cause this.

[bennyfizzle]

This is why god created hub centering rings.

@votblindub"

are you serious??? :banghead

a little fyi for ya… the lugs aren’t designed to support the weight of the car/ force of the road. the hub bore is designed to do that. with out the wheels being “true” to the hub face, you are going to get all kinds of adverse effects.

most cars are extremely sensitive to vibration with out the rings.

[88slowmarro]

i have seen em sheer lugs off cause of it

oh yeah, same here… didn’t want to strike fear into him though… hahah :eek

[votblindub]

well, im back on my BBS wheels for now. my plan now is to wait for the suspension to come in, order the parts i need for maintenance, get it all installed. after a few days of the springs settling in, measure for spacer size and order those and new lug bolts and THEN get the Lorinsers on and try again. “do work”, amirite?

[Mk4_30R_Ban]

just get 8 and 20mm spacers, and if you dont like them, ill trade you my 15s… see how that works

[votblindub]

idk if i can get 20mm in there after it’s lowered. 8 might be the magic number though.
