Centerbore of an FD?

Hey guys, just a quick question. Is the centerbore of the FD 67.1mm? Thinking about getting some 5mm spacers upfront so my tires will quit rubbing and needed to know, that way the spacers I get will be hub centric.

Yeah, they are. My offsets are a little low and I need slightly taller tires to keep my lip off of the ground, so it scrubs every once in a while on full lock.

I'm assuming you mean "offset too high". The lower the offset, the further "out" the wheel is from the center of the car. So using a space will make the offset even "lower". What is the size and offset of the wheels you have?

Apparently I'm confused, because not only did I think a lower offset meant closer to the hub and that I had +38's, but I actually have +45's. My wheels are 17x8 and have 235/45/17's on them.

Send a PM to Rishie:

I'm not real keen on Rishie at the moment. I posted a thread in his section asking if he could get Rays valve stems for me and he never replied. There are some hub centric 5mm spacers on ebay that I can pick up for $40, so I'll probably just go with those.
