hEY GUYS... I did search and bottom line. I need to use hubcentric spacers to avoid vibration and do the proper intallation. NOW, i contacted Lancer from ECS and I asked about h&r version 2 8mm with Hubcentric... he told me that they might work but propably I might have to modify the hub centric???? I wanna use the spacers at front... so where and which spacers should I use....

I dunno about the 8mm but the 5mm h&rs are not hubcentric at all... I thought the 8s were though but I could be wrong. I used 5s up front an had a ton of vibration and this was with me working at a tire shop an spending 30 minutes lining it all up perfect and torquing everything down properly.

that is sort of hard to understand so i will just say this...
the hub on our car is 57.1 mm so if you were to get hubcentric spacers they would need to be 57.1 in order to not have any vibrations
so as long as you buy a spacer that is 57.1mm then you will be fine
i got my 11mm spacers from forge and they work fine...

Most VW/Audi's need to be 12mm minimum to be hub and wheel centric. Just hubcentric can still cause a vibration, with the lip the min it can be is 12mm.

8mm V2 H&Rs are hubcentric and do have a lip.

The lip is not big enough to be wheel centric, it is just to help guide and hold the wheel. The spacer has to be thick enough to completely cover the lip on the hub.
