[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 17184, member: 264"] Offshore at the moment, so internet ussage is a bit limitted, hence no reply earlier. Yeah, the Hubcentric spacers are ones which slot onto the center of the wheel and have a raised ring for the wheel to slot onto. Thinner spacers 10-15mm come with holes drilled through, for use with longer wheel bolts, whereas thicker (20mm+) spacers bolt onto the hub with special bolts and have seperate threads for the wheel to bolt onto. Spacers less than 5-8mm tend not to be hubcentric, as theres still some of the hub left sticking through for the wheel to slot onto. If theres nothing showing for the wheel to slot onto, the forces will be taken on the wheel bolts. Also, getting the wheel centered on the hub would probably be a nightmare so balancing will be out. If your not sure where to measure to decide on clearance issues, it's probably safer to seek out a local tyre center or tunners that does upgraded alloys (not just a tyre fitters) and get them to order some suitable spacers. Then, if they are wrong the onus it on them to change them out again. [/QUOTE]
