I know this is an easy DIY, but I thought it would be good to post up a DIY since I have seen people ask questions about it.
This is applicable to both Gens.
I was installing new hub centering rings on my spacers since I use aftermarket wheels with a different hub bore, my Enkeis are 75mm hub bore whereas the OEM hub bore is 66.1mm. It is always important to use these rings when using aftermarket wheels since the hub bore could be different. This helps keep everything centered and balanced.
The spacers I am using are Ichiba V2 Spacers in a 15mm thickness.
Here is what you need:
-Torque wrench capable of torquing your lug nuts to the factory torque setting of 80 ft/lbs. Use this torque setting with OEM or aftermarket wheels.
-breaker bar- to loosen lug nuts.
-proper sized sockets for your lug nuts and spacer nuts.
-jack to lift wheel off ground.
-jack stands- for safety when your FX is off the ground.
-wheel chocks to block wheels when vehicle is jacked up to prevent it from rolling.
-hub center rings if required.
Install wheel spacere and torque the nuts to 80 ft/lbs
Install Hub Center Rings on spacer if required
Install wheel and torque to 80 ft/lbs
NOTE
It is important to remove the wheel and check that the torque is still at 80 ft/lbs on the wheel spacer after you have driven around 100 miles (usually they are pretty good), then re install the wheel and torque it to 80 ft/lbs. Again retorque your wheels after you get a few miles on them.
There you go, you are good to go and your ride looks better with the wheels pushed out for the flush look.
