this is where i got mine from. http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/redir?s...ings%3C%2Fb%3E

just measure the diameter of the hub on your rim and the stock diameter for our cars is 70.3mm. hope this helps..later.

i would check with AR to be 100% precise.

HP Evo vibration problem

I have a set of 19 evo's on my 02 ws6, It's the 5 lug nut's that center the wheel on the hub, not the hub itself. Be sure you have the proper lug nuts, they sent me the wrong nuts and I almost fucked them up installing them. I ended up using my stock GM nuts/ locks and used my stock black lug nut covers (the plastic had to be ground down very carfully) to fit in the lug hole.
It looks oem. Also make sure to remove the two factory brake rotor star washers, because they can cause uneven wheel runout/vibration.
also torque the nuts in a crisscross star pattern up the recommended torque.

just my two cents

P.S. injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown

From what I understand, the studs aren't strong enough to support the weight of the car. The wheel needs to fit the hub.

they'll support it, but it'll never truely be centered with just lug nuts...no matter what type of lug nuts they are. if there is any play between the vehicle hub and the wheel hub, it will never be perfectly centered. you should have the centering rings.
not to mention, not having the rings, you run the risk of chewing up the inside of the wheel and the stud holes as well b/c of the slight movement that it encounters. i personally never run a wheel without a ring...unless they are a perfect fit like the stock wheels.
