The millenia rims are not hub centric on the ITR hubs. BBQ's right that the lugs will center the rim. Just make sure you get them good and snug (not torqued) before you lower the car onto the wheels. Keep the jack supporting the car while you torque, and you'll be fine.

The wheels are legal for SCCA DS since they are the same size and offset as the original ITR rims. I'll try to remember to have them weighed when I swap them around next week, since I'm kind of curious what they really are.

The spacers are two fold...
Regardless of the tire size, they increase the track which provides a small increase in track.
They are NEEDED for tires wider than 205 to keep the tire from rubbing the inner fender on the front, and the LCA on the rear.
NOTE: They have no affect on centering the rim, they are .25" thick with holes for the lug studs to pass through and a clearance hole for the hub.

There are two common tire setup's...
1) 225 fronts and 205 rears for grippy surfaces such as concrete. The 205's help the car's tail to rotate.
2) 225's all around for surfaces with less ultimate grip such as asphalt.

I hope this helps, and happy racing.



As soon as you pass the start line, you are only losing time.
Minimize how much time you lose. It's not just going faster, it's
spending less time on the course.
