wheel swap question

Well, today I looked online to see if a co-workers 06 altima se-r wheels would fit. I found out that the bolt pattern is the same and the offset is good to clear the brakes. We swapped out our two rear rims (enkei<->se-r forged rims) and when I drove around with his on they wobbled on my car a bit while my enkeis on his where fine (we switched back immediately). I wanted to know from a wheel/tire guru why it is that they do that. Yes the lugs were tight and the rim was pushed all the way in. The se-r rims actually looked better than I thought they would on my car.

Do the se-r wheels have a smaller hub bore? If so the wheels were not all the way in. If your enkeis have a larger hub bore, they would go over the Altima's hub, so they would work fine on his car.

yeah...actually they do have a smaller hub bore now that I think of it. Would spacers work?

Nope. The only spacers to use safely on your car are from companies like H&R, Eibach, etc. They maintain the stock hub bore size to the SE-R wheel hub bore would still be too small. You would have to enlarge the bore to make it sit properly.

Yeah, might as well buy some wider aftermarket wheels... I don't think the se-r wheels are any wider than our stock Enkeis? Anyway, those would be a downgrade from the Enkeis.
