A small spacer got me back on the road, but seeing as how the lugs were desgined for Hub Centric, and with the spacer, the wheels were no longer hub centric...let's just say the vibrations were unbareable.
The resolution? I trimmed the calipers! I only had to do the fronts (rear is fine). Took a few minutes, but well worth it. Rides so smooth now.
Now I have to figure out why I still have a HUGE wheelgap up front (lie 4 fingers!)
Here's the gap now;
And the final results (BTW, I love the look of these!)
I think I'm gonna have to get Coilovers and join the KTG crew in the near future.
