Who is running wheel spacers?

Who is running wheel spacers?

So long story short I got the center caps for my Advan RGII's. The center caps went on the rims fine, and the rear rims went on the hub fine. The fronts however were a different story, I had to run to a local rim shop and get the smallest spacer they had (5mm) and slap that bad boy on there to get them to fit.

My question is what spacers are you guys running, because I'm not thrilled with the qulality of the ones I got from the local wheel shop. LMK

Thanks

BTW THE CENTER CAPS ARE SICKKKK!

I run custom hub-centric 25mm spacers for the fronts, 3mm universal ones for the rears (not hub-centric, but they were too small to need to be hub-centric).

Yeah I don;t want to go bigger then 5mm because I will rub, My car is very low. i don;t daily drive it and I like the stance.

The 5mm spacers I have now don;t cover the entire hub making a clean fit around the entire rim hub, thats why I want something less generic and more specific. Is that what you guys mean by hub cetric. Like they fit clean all the way around? (Sorry I've never had to use spacers b4) Any linnks to places where I could buy a good 5mm set of four would be great!

Thanks for the Help!n

Hub Centic meaning the'll have an extended lip that will fit inside the rim ensuring the rim centers on the hub and eliminating some high speed shimmys sometimes felt in the car

With these you'll have to install the longer studs. You can see the Hub Centric lip

These are the ones I run and they bolt on to the stock hub ensuring proper alignment

does anyone have pics of how their car looks with the spacers on them. I am thinking about doing it also, to give the car a more aggressive stance

I run the Ichiba 20mm hub centric spacers up front and 15mm in the rear.

Damn no good 5mm products? I don;t want to run a 15 or bigger due to ride height and how wide my wheels are.
