Default some advice please

just got my s2 back from having some work done to try and rectify the steering wheel shudder and was told that the problem was linked to the momo alloys not having the (spacers,rings?)on the back of the wheels,basically i was told the wheels would not be centralised properly without these fitted,
the alloys have the size 108pcd & ect 35 stamped on the rims which i thought were the perfect size for the s2 and would not require (spacers/rings)
anyhow just thought i'd get a second opinion before ordering the longer wheels studs which are required when fitting spacers.

Yes, the offset is fine, and the PCD. THe PCD is the measuremnt from the the centre of one stud hole, to it's opposite corner.

But, what you need, is an insert that that knocks into the centre of the wheel. This then fits perfectly over the hub to centralise the wheel. I've just put a new one in one of My OZ's. U can get them from any momo supplier.
