20 inch style 214 wheels hub rings

I've searched but I can only find it on ebay.

Where can I buy some hub centric rings for my 2003 x5 besides on eBay ?

For all e53 owners that are running style 214 wheels. Do yall have any rubbing issues against the inner linning of the car?

I was test fitting style 214 wheels on the back of an e53 and it looks like it's not going to be able to have rotation because it is so close against the inner lining. Is this normal?

The wheels are style 214 from my e70 x5 with ps2 tires.

Thanks

Sorry I'm not qualified to respond on whether you need spacers, but it certainly sounds like you do need them. Might be pertinent to research on suitable rims and more importantly offsets.
Try: ECS Tuning ::OEM / Performance Parts for Volkswagen :: FrontPage Click on info for your model, then click on 'Suspension' for H & R wheel spacers.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and simply buy a digital caliper at a hardware store and measure both your true hub diameter and the width of the inside of the wheel (where the hub fits of course). Once you've measured the discrepancy you can go to Tires & Wheels | 1010tires.com - The Absolute Authority on Tires and Wheels. and order the specific hub-centric rings you need (aluminum preferred). Be sure to put LOTS of grease on both the hub and the rings before you put them on or you will have to cut them off.

Keep in mind my experience where my chinese-made aftermarket rims said ON THE BOX that they were a certain hub size and, in actuality, were different from the specifications. The only way you can be certain is to measure YOURSELF. Good luck!

some people really need to learn if their reply is necessary or not
