Why do you need the spacers? I will effect your offset (making you run a more conservative offset becuase the spacer will be pushing the wheel out (creating negative offset if you will)) Are you sure you dont mean Hub Centric Rings?

well...the wheel lexion sent me was a 44mm offset for the front and i used a 10mm hub centric spacers which had studs sticking out of it........all of this to clear the caliper and still the damn wheel hits the caliper...so i grinded the caliper lil bit and now the car drives fine and didnt experience any vibrations all the way untill 110 mph. now the car is rocking...19 lexion 203.....here are the sizes.

19 x 9 f 245 40
19 x 10 r 275 30

the car drives almost like it was on stock.....no rubbing wat so ever!!!
