Default Do I need hubcentric rings for SSR Vienna Sovereign Wheels?

Im thinking about buying some 19" ssr wheels like the title says but im not sure if they are going to fit properly. They are currently installed on an sc. Will i need to get hubcentric rings or spacers for these wheels to fit? Im also going to be installing some tein coilovers with these wheels and was wondering if there was anything i should be adding to my suspension if im not really looking to get any camber.

Wheel sizes:
19x9 +37 low disk - almost 3" of lip
19x10 +37 super low disk

Thanks for the info.

You'll need hubcentric rings unless the set comes with them at purchase.

Spacers will depend on how flush of a look you want. More than likely you'll want some spacers though. I ran 20X9 +32 and 20X10 +30 and with a mild 1/2-1/5" drop it was pretty flush with the outer fender lip. Nothing crazy like the ultra flush stretched tires some have. My car also had OEM spec alignment so no crazy negative camber either. Still had to shave the rear fender lip though.

Hubcentric rings are not required, but definitely recommended. Having them ensures your wheels are mounted to the center of the hub....and NOT by the lug bolts/nuts.

Spacers are made with or without the hubcentric lip...depending on size. If you decide to use spacers, I'd recommend buying spacers specifically for your hubcore size...with the same hubcentric lip size. Obviously, a 5mm or even a 10mm spacer may not have a hubcentric lip.

As CK said, depending on the wheels width and offset, and how flush you want your wheels to go to your fender, that will determine your spacer size.
