centering ring?

on a side note. Make sure if you get a flat with the winters on and you go to use your sparethat you remove that ring. A "helpfull" co-worker helped the wife put the spare on when she got a flat and ruined the $1200 spare for the FX. I now have a laminated note stuck to the spare in the winter time with insructions.
 
Sorry, my mistake. I didn't realize he was referring to an fx50. $1200.00 is steep, you can buy a bbs 3 peice wheel for that! Must be a super spare is all I can say.
 
I should be getting the wheels either today or tomorrow but in the description it says that the aspect ratio is 60 rim diameter is 18 load index is 110 rim width is 8.5 and the offset is +45mm..? I asked the guy and he said hes not a tireshop and to call the tirerack people lol I just wanted to ask you guys first before someone overcharged me or something. Thank you for your help.
 
Again, just take a micrometer or a pair of calipers and measure the inside of the wheel hub. Then go to the website i listed above and order whatever the size is by 66.1mm and your good to go.

Ask the seller what the hub bore size is, I would think he will know if he had the wheels installed at one time. Or better yet ask him if the hub centric rings are included in the sale.
 
okay so I called the tirerack guy and ordered the centering rings but he said the rims might not fit my 04 fx35 because it might not clear the brake callipar or something like that and he said I might need to buy spacers. The rims came off of a 09 fx35.
 
He is probably right, IDk maybe someone else will chime in and clarify. If you need spacers go here to buy them this is where i got mine.

Keep in mind this is for 2 wheels so you will have to order 2 sets and these are 10mm spacers that I needed. I don't know how much space you need, you will have to go to here to determine how much you need:

Also if you do expedited shipping on the spacers make sure you send this asshole a follow up email after you order or he will ship regular ground and still charge you. That's what he did to me and when I bitched he refunded the 29.00 shipping I paid but I still have been waiting and wont get mine until tomorrow!
 
last question I promise lol how much do you think a mechanic would charge to install 10mm spacers? According to the calculator thing its only off by one stupid mm
 
Dude it's not that hard to do if you are in any way mechanically inclined. If not I would call around to tire and wheel places, I would thing it will be high because all four calipers and rotors have to come off and then all studs taken out and new ones installed. Like I said if you have basic mechanical skills and a few tools and a few hours you can do it yourself. There is a diy thread on here somewhere on how to do it.
