    I'm lookin at some Enkei ZR2 rims right now and I was curious if anyone knows if there would be any problems slapping these on with a hotchkis stage I. They are 18x7.5 with a 42 offset and our bolt pattern is 5 x 100/114.3 right? Sorry if it's a bad question I'm new to this.

    Should not be a problem on 215/40 up to 225/40 tire. The stock offset is +45 with 17x7. +42 on an 18x7.5 should be just right. Our hubs are 5x100 bolt pattern and are hub centric. The Enkei's require hub adpators so be sure to get them.

    Found em

    So I found a set of those rims perfect size mounted on Mastercraft Avenger ZHP 225/40/R18 tires. They have 4000 miles on them and the guy is asking $800 for the set. Can anyone tell me if this is too much or just right and roughly how much shipping would cost for something like that?

    The forum won't allow a one word post so I had to add filler.

    Huncentric rings are not spacers. They are used to center the wheel on car.
    You have hubcentric and Lug centric. Hubcentric will have a stub of a sort protruding and the ring on the rim fits snuggly around the hib to make sure the wheel is centered and this holds osme of the stress.

    Lugcentric, the plate or rotor or drum is flat up against the wheel, and the lugs make sure the wheel is centered and the lugs alone hold the wheel oto the car.

    I will see if I can find pictures.

    Hub spacers, come in 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm for the tC. You dont need them for enkei wheels. You do need the hubcentric rings, but the wheels will come with them if purchased from a reputable dealer (like tire rack, discount tire or whatever)

    If you want spacers, there are alot of sites that have the, but go to far with the wrong offset and you will rub. But got the perfect amount and it will sitnieand flush with the side of the car and look awesome!!!

    One of those late night posts where I was half asleep. I have corrected my mischoice of words. Thanks for setting it straight Nick06tC.
