Question for spacers
Guys,
I just bought spacers for my front wheels, and It fits to my rear hubcentric but not the front, do you guys know anything about this? Let me know about this, this is crazy, I called H&R and they told me that both of the rear and front should be the same....
Thanks in advance

Ah HA! I know EXACTLY what you mean. I had the same problem. the 10 mm spacers would not fit over the hub. It looks like it might, but it BARELY does not fit right?
I got my machine shop boys to cut off that circular part that sticks out one side, and make the inner circle the same width. And it works real good now.

hey Ivan,
Thanks for the info buddy,...but if u take off the knob, inside of it theres a bolt or something like that, is it safe to leave that opened?
How do you like your new addons? hope you like it, let me know if you need anything else

You mean the grease cover on the hub? Its best to leave that on, one reason is.. if you don't you will find tons of grease on your wheels after a while.
The cutting I was refering to is for the spacer. You cut out the ring that sticks out one side. And if you look inside the center of the spacer, you will see that there are 2 different widths, I had my boys grind it down to the same.
I have already installed the lips, the fit is not perfect but it will do :p Thanks man.
