Ichiba Wheels Spacers and Machining
Hello TGC,
So I just got off the phone with a fella at Evasive Motorsports and he told me basically that I need different wheels, but I wanna see what some of the experts here have to say. I apologize if this question has been answered before, but I have searched for the last 20 minutes and come up with nothing.
I have some nice 18" X 8" SSR GT-7's that have an offset of +51mm and a centerbore of 56.1mm. Our cars have a centerbore requirement of 67.1mm. So what I wanted to do was buy some of the spacers in the link above and have the hub side machined to 67.1mm and leave the wheels side at 56.1mm.
My man at Evasive said that can't be done. I'm not sure I believe him, but he sells the things, I've never seen a set before. I called specifically to see if it was possible and got told no.
My question is has anyone here ever seen these spacers, and if so, do you think they can be machined, as I'd rather have the spacers machined before the wheels? Or is it a better idea to just machine the bore on the wheels and get the proper spacer? Please let me know, I need rims badly, see my garage for proof, those steelies are stealing my swag lol!
Here's the rims, in case anyone wanted to see them:

Thanks in advance!
