Is it safe to assume that none of the aftermarket replacement wheels that TireRack sells require spacers to clear the OE brakes?
I have the R83's that are 'et50' ... and it looks like most of the 16in wheels they sell are around 'et42'.

Dan,
would switching to any of the aftermarket wheels from TireRack require spacers?
thanks!

Tirerack only has hubcentric fits for the mini. We may use centering rings, but no spacers to make up for offset.

I am new to this and was wondering what job the centering rings performed? I have never used or heard of before now. It's good to be a rookie.

Centering rings slide into the back of the wheel so that the center bore of the wheel matches the hub size of your car.
