I gave the rubber a good wash last night and applied some meguires endurance tire shine. The rims already look so much better now. The rims are growing on me now more and more. I'm starting to accept the fact that they look like 20"s now.

The "lip" of the car's own hub is about 10mm wide, so 5mm spacer is just a disc without a hubcentric lip. It doesn't matter as the car's own "lip" will reach out through the spacer. 10mm and wider spacers have their own hubcentric "lip".

I would use 5mm longer bolts just to be safe.
