bobbo Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'd generally avoid any that aren't hubcentric to be honest, just doesnt seem safe to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 After seeing some of the messes created by those type I'd avoid them like the plague. Spend some money and get some decent hub centric ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'd avoid them if you're thinking of running the 10mm ones like, the 5mm still allows you a fair bit of the collar but any bigger and i always go for hubcentric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAl Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Should be OK but I wouldn't trust any spacers other than Eibach/H&RWe've solved so many customers "Wheel wobble" issues by removing their spacers it is unreal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggaz Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Usually hubcentric only start at 15mm and bigger, they need to be wide enough to be able to create a new lip for your wheels to sit on. As said though, ive used 7mm ones like that but with longer bolts....didnt like using them. Dunno why just dont like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
