    spacers require hub centric rings?

    I measured my hub lip and it's less than a cm, so if I use 12 mm spacers I will need some sort of hub centric ring, right? I'm just not clear how it will help cause it won't reach the original hub lip.

    The spacers should be the hub-centric type. That's the best way to go.

    12mm spacers should have a hub built into them, and slide right on... At least ECS' do...

    What you want is a hubcentric spacer like H&R makes:



    You'll also need longer lugbolts as well which would ideally be a 14x1.5x42mm R14 ball seat with 17mm head

    ECS puts the hub centric lip n their 12.5 mm spacers but not the 8 mm - so let me look at H&R - thanks.

    spacers require hub centric rings?

    We've got some really nice SP branded spacers. They're even notched for removal. We have 3/5/8/10/12/15 and 20mm ones.

    And yes, even 8/10mm spacers have the HC ring integrated.
