Wheel Spacers

[mjt205]

Hey peeps, I just got 18'' eagle alloy 077 series wheels on my 2001 alero cupe..5x115. However, i went to get em balanced and i need wheel spacers in there. does any have any info of what size i wil need??? i went to pep boys and they had 5/16'' and 1/4'' spacers. I appreciate ANY help anyone can give me! happy 4th of july everyone

do you know what the offset of the wheels are? Whichever spacer gets you to the 35-42 range will help you out. :thumbsup:

the offset is +38 as far as i know..i dont think eagle alloy has anything different in the 18x8 wheels

Who said you need wheel spacers? You have the correct bolt pattern and the size/offset are fine, so they should bolt right up without a hitch. You may, however, want to add hub-centric rings to be sure the weight of the vehicle is being supported by the hubs and not the wheel lugs.

/\ /\ Yup. I believe a couple others on here (including Naich?) have the same wheels, and I don't believe any of them needed spacers. I would definately inquire about hubcentric rings though, as mfuller said.

yes. U'll want to get the hubcentric rings. I have those wheels too. So does Naich.( u dont need any spacers) We both got our hubcentric rings from clubgp.com

Did any of you guys have troubles fitting the hub rings on the rears?

As long as you get the proper rings, they will NEVER be hard to install. You need to get the right ring based on your stock centerbore and the centerbore of the new wheel. As long as you get them based on that info, they should slide right on for a nice tight fit.
