Default Mismatch offsets

Hey guys. I have Axis Milanos staggered set up that i got from another member (see signiture). The fronts have opposite offsets from one another. One front wheel has a 35 offset and the other has a 45 offset. Is there anyting i can do to correct the difference, or do i have to scurry around for a new wheel? Axis no longer makes 19's in the Milanos now. I will have to search long and hard for a replacement if need be. Any suggestions?

I heard that is dangerous because that size spacer will not allow 3 turns to fasten the lug nuts and the wheel could come off while driving. I decided to bite the bullet and order 2 new fronts. They will be different from the back in that the new Milanos has 5 rivets instead of 4 between spokes, and has a bigger lip than its predecessor. It is now known as the Axis Milano Plus. I like to remove my 19's for the winter and slap on 17's. I learned my lesson and should buy rims that have posted offsets.

most wheels are not hub centric and you should get the right hub rings

If you buy from a wheel shop, they should have them. Otherwise, contact D2 or TM Engineering.

i am not sure what's the hub of that wheels. a lot of times they are 73mm but again not 100%. the lexus hub is 60.1mm

so once you sure about that, you just get a ring that's 73mm (or whatever outside boundary) outside and 60.1mm inside

73/60.1 will do. I just bought another set yesterday for different wheels, so far those hubs work on Work, Weds, Amistad, and Trafficstar (Maya) wheels.
