Rota sub zeros

[grafecks]

I have a Protege 5 and I have a set of 17 inch rota sub zeros, I rarely install things in my car because everytime I do something it always turns wrong. Well today I had the tires put on my rims. I then went home, and put on my rims. The front rims fit perfect but the back ones dont, they wobble? I dont know why? Do I need spacers? Is this something that happens often? Or is there something else i need to do? Im hopeing this is a easy problem to fix.

do you have hubcentric rings? that could be the problem

i think its the ring that goes on the inside? if it is it sticks out a little bit I dunno if i should even it out to make it fit?

Where did you order the rims from?

Sub-zeros need to be machined in order to make them fit properly on a P5.

Search for "subzero" on this board for the info.

the center bore of the regular subzeros is too low. i don't suggest driving with those wheels until you have the centers bored out to atleast 68mm. They won't sit flush against the rear upright until you have them bored out.

I solved the problem, I went to pep boys and bought 6 dollar spacers. Now the rims fit perfect and nothing rubs.
