The spacers were the correct size for the cars original hubs and the new wheels.
That way the wheels don't have to be altered, and nor do the hubs. Everyones a winner baby thats the truth.
I would say thats repaint time.
Have you tried G3 on a rotary? Tried wet sanding? I'd try anything before you paint it. Then if you do burn through/f**k it up, you were going to get it painted anyway! lol.
He had spacers made up that bolted to his hub via the original holes.
Then the newly spaced holes with the correct sized centre were on the spacer, ready to take the new wheel.
I've got Nangkang Ultrasports in 205/40/17 on my Astra Van.
I drive the thing to within an inch of its life everywhere and they are brilliant!
I do drive like a fairy in the rain though so can't really comment about wet performance.
*edit, I would NOT be putting them on already...
Go to your local machine shop.
My mate did and fitted VW alloys to his Toyota. £10 a corner.
Complete ball ache finding out the dimensions though. Although for you just take the car and the wheels down to the machine shop??
I like how they start at Hambrook in the right hand lane and stay there. Because they're turning right at kingswood.
That road ages me everytime i f**king drive along it.
