3mm spacers...need hub centric?

Hi, I intend to use some 3mm spacers for my wheels.

My question is, for a mere 3mm spacer, do I need those with hub centric ring?

I did a search but cannot find a definite answer. Thanks.

You should be fine with 3mm spacers. I doubt any 3mm spacer will be hubcentric anyway as it doesn't even stick out past your hub.

Make sure you get some good 3mm spacers, some of the cheap ones are rough and uneven so you can get vibrations through the steering wheel.

With 3mm, the hub will still center with the wheel.
I have a 5mm and the hub still sits a tiny bit inside the wheel.

Thks...good quality 3mm spacers? I did a search and most reputable vendors dont manufacture below 10mm. Is this good enough?

If I am not mistaken the hub size on the Evo X is the same size as the DSMs (67.1mm) but you might want to double check or maybe someone on here can confirm this.

If they are infact 67.1 mm, I recommend these hub-centric spacers from Supercar-Engineering. I had the 5mm on my old GS-T, great quality!

I hate to say it, but why even bother with 3mm spacers?

What wheels are these for?

Yeah..I thought so too..my wheel spec is 9x25 which I thought was good...I guess the ideal for EVO X is 9x22...I saw 1 car with 9x22...somehow it looks much better...hence the 3mm spacers.

You wont notice the 3mm. I would just do 10mm spacers
