as you guys may know, i have my 15x8 et15 diamond racing steelies and am waiting for my tires. i "dummied" one of the wheels on the car today and there is a "ring" in the paint on the inside of the wheel.
does this mean i'm gonna need spacers cause im not clearing the brake or am i okay?
or could it be from putting the wheel on, i'm clueless and just want to be sure



EDIT: diamond racing makes their wheels lug-centric not hub-centric

i didnt even think to check until i was just looking at the wheel & saw the ring.. but i'm pretty sure it cleared the caliper but thats behind the D-window part, not where the ring is

If it clears the caliper you're fine, that "ring" is probably from just touching the hub which is obviously okay.

You want the hub to come through the center hole of the wheel. If it does not then you need spacers. Otherwise you the wheel is going to sit on the hub ring and cause it to not be straight.

If you go with spacers, invest in some extended studs as well.
