I'm pretty sure you just need those two. Another possibility is if you bought the rims second hand. People sometimes forget to include those little plastic "filler" pieces (sometimes shops don't use them either). Not spacers, I can't think of the exact name, but their shaped in a ring and are either plastic or metal. Alot of aftermarket rims may fit correctly since the lugs line up, but there stil might be "play" in between the lug opening and wheel stud allowing the rims to still move around....that's where those fillers come in. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>javier</b> <br /><small>Member # 547</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,2,4,11,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> The rims were new..... and the tires dont rub at all.... and its lowered 1 1/2.....
