Hub bore
 

I bought some rays ss7, the wheel bore is 60.1, ours is 67.1, how do I make this work? I'm about 30 seconds from just dremeling them out
Thanks

take them to a machine shop and have them machine the bore to 67.1 mm. You don't want to do it yourself.

No machine shop locally will do it

sell them

Don't use a Dremel on your expensive aluminum wheels.

The stance is still strong with this one.

Buy spacers and remove the lip for the hub. One can never be to herrafrush...

Fail for not even knowing the hub bore to begin with.

Big fail :/
So if I buy 3mm spacers they should fix the issue? I was thinking of just buying hubcentric rings and flipping them around lol

This

Get them to lathe them.

Send them out if no one locally can do it. Did you buy them new?

Bought them used, the speed is my daily and I don't have much money, a machine shop is off the table.

Resell em then. Or hold onto them until you get the cash to get them done.

Not an option, need them fixed in the next few days, I don't see how spacers would do it, could I flip hubcentric rings like I was talking about?
I have no time, no money, no place to store wheels, hence why I just need to fix this

Just get a spacer big enough to cover the bore so that when you put the new wheels on it wont hit it. You will get a lot of vibes though at high speeds

You can't put on stock rims for the time being?

I don't have stock wheels, I have my rotas and these rays

It would seem that you're getting what you deserve.

Why cant you use the Rotas until you have the money to properly bore the Rays? Or just sell them and buy the correct wheels?

What size are the Rays anyway? including offset

Well if you have no time, money, or storage...sounds like you need to sell them.

To do it correctly you need an adapter. Yes, you can just put a spacer, but that is dangerous in that if you get the wheel too off center from your hub you have issues. Do it right or don't do it.

The proper way to fit them is either get them re-bored, or buy a set of real adapters that are hub concentric and have a lip for the wheel to be concentric to the hub/adaptor as well.

Buy Adapter | Motorsport Tech

There is a configurator for custom adapters. A decent set of adapters is going to cost you a bit...probably as much as it would to get the wheels bored (If the wheel construction allows for this).

There's also the issue of what you're going to do to your suspension geometry using an adapter...but fuck knows you don't give a shit about that. Not to mention the extra weight of an adapter.

In short...sell the wheels and get some that fit the car without doing all this adapter/boring nonsense.

Dremel?...really?...

You're really fucking dumb if you think flipping hubcentric rings is going to make a large hub fit into a smaller bore. Didn't you play with the "square doesn't fit in the triangle" toy as a toddler? Do you still play with that?

LOL,. bravo...

You fucked up, you bought wheels without researching. WTF were you thinking?

I'm an idiot, we've established this, just trying to fix this issue. I'm just going to pick some spacers up and see if I can make this work.

Dude, dont spend more $ to continue this shit.

Who can lend him stock wheels?

tapafuck

I got stock wheels.. but i dont know this cat... i have trust issues.

Your posts are nothing, if not entertaining. There has to be a local shop either in Riverside, Fotucky, or the SGV that can do you.

Your growing pile of epic failures are starting to overshadow Gale and I, combined.

I say play on player. ;)

I feel bad for your car. I bet its suicidal.

I don't get it though, if I stay Stanced I get hate, and if I try to unstance I get hate
Maybe I should just make my car levitate, no more wheel problems

It's your car, do what you want.... These guys are just making points.

It seems you don't want to listen to any advice. Seeing as you bought wheels that aren't even Mazda compatible in the first place, tells me you aren't taking this seriously.

Stancing to begin with, allows me not to take you or others seriously.

Today's youth...

Sell MS3, buy Scion, go herrafrush, problem solved.

Do it right, or don't do it at all. You are doing it wrong.

You should just stop being so retarded.

I've never commented on your posts but I'm sure I've read them all.

Good lulz though.

Made it work temporarily. Probably going to flip these along with the other wheels I'm getting and try to find a set of TEs in my price range once these and the other set are gone

I have stock wheels. No tires. Just wheels. He can borrow them if he wants.

Good luck finding a set under 9.5 wide and/or offset higher than +30

This is true, maybe ill just buy stock wheels and a BNR

I have stock Pu rims for sale in the Gen2 F/S section. Cheap for you!

pu wheels suck.

I have stock wheels you can borrow if you don't fuck them up

If one of you could bring stock wheels to nator that would be awesome, I should have the whole situation sorted by then but if I dont...yeah it could be helpful

I won't be at nator so you would have to pick them up some other day before then

I might show up to norco just to lend you my wheels.

Much homo love

I'm just flat out impressed that he can one-up the leak-o-matic 3000

@Micha; is the coolest



Edit:semi-colon fail. gracias Jake.

@IE.SD.Manny; have to add a semicolon after to tag people now

My dog and my car both love to leave marks on their territory ;).
