Hello fellow forum members, i have BR05 Bremmer Kraft rims installed on my car for about 5 months now, and i felt no vibration. These rims came with hub-centric rings, but i just installed spacers yesterday and now i am getting a heavy vibration at 60-70 mph. i know the spacers caused the vibration but i was wondering if i need to install the hub centric rings with the spacers and if so how? spacers are only on the front for now, i want to get this vibration sorted out before i install 15 mm spacers on the back.

that is a link to the spacers, please if anyone can help me out i would greatly appreciate it!

Why is it you cannot put the ring on the spacer?

i dont think the ring will fit? the ring fits snug on the bore of the car, and the spacer is occupying that space.

i will try tomorrow, but i feel the outer diameter of the spacers will be greater than the inner diameter of the rings. therefore the rings will not fit onto the spacer's machined lip. is there a way to tell (by looking at my link) if the spacers have the same outer diameter of the e60's bore? if the outer diameter of the spacer's lip is greater than the bore of the e60 than how will the ring fit onto the lip of the spacers?
