Default Need a little help with rim sitting on properly

Hey guys, today when i was taking of the rim i noticed it was not sitting on the bolts properly, meaning it was sort of moving around. The rim is aftermarket, Axis Super Hiro, so the question is, what kind of spacer or hub centric spacer? or my some sort of plastic or plate that goes in between rim and the bolts to make the rim sit dead on.

If spossible, could you guys give me the size/pattern/what ever else i need to get the part in local tire shop, thanks!

The 350z inner bore is 66.1. The outer bore of this ring is 73.10mm, I dont know what the bore on the axis super hiro is, axis could let you know though or someone else. I got these for my volks and work perfect

all info i can find for this rim, anymore information you guys can give me to find out which size of hub centric ring i need? Will perhaps a 5mm spacer work/do the same job as the ring? or ring is also needed along with the spacer?

PS: thanks for quick response

Edit: quick search i did and found out that its -Hub Bore : 73.1 (of the rim) what does this mean exactly?

means the centric rings in the ebay link are the size u need. the ring increases the 350z bore from 66.1 to 73.1 for a snug fit.

as long as the hub centric rings have the inner size and the outersize i stated, u are good

Is the problem with the front wheels only? Rear wheels only? Both?

Are these really necessary? I never ran hub centric rings with my TA TE's and never had any problems. Now I'm running s1's so should I get a set of these?

unless u didnt remove the little screw it has that prevents u from placing stock rears on the fronts. That screw that comes from factory will not let you place your aftermarket wheels on from what i heard, but that is only front the fronts. I am assuming you had the problem with the rears
