the spacer won't seat flush on the wheel.. check there too. Basically just try mounting the spacer on the rear of the wheel off the car and see if there is wiggle. If not, these may work with your particular wheel.

It does sit flush on the wheel. As above, the concern was the hub. Why would it not sit flush on the wheel, they are both flat surfaces and the spacer is the correct center.

the step lip on the spacer extends too far causing the wheel to not center properly.. trust me lol

clears the hub, but does not fit into the wheel, but I had this problem with OEM wheels.

I haven't tried on the OEM wheels but I'm pretty sure they are completely flush with my Velos wheels. Why above it was a concern about sitting flush on the hub and now it's sitting flush with the wheel. I just put it back on so I'll check later on but I'm 99% sure they are perfectly flush on the wheel.

could just be the hub on your aftermarket wheels does not have the problem. But basically, depending on thickness of spacer, the spacer would either 1. not sit flush on the hub or 2. not sit flush with the rear mounting face of the wheel

Either of which would cause vibration and could be very unsafe. If you verified both without any doubt, then don't worry about it.

Hub side is good but now I better double check the wheel side. I think I'm good but will definitely confirm.

yea so my guess is your hubs are the same as ours because that spacer hub side cutout is HUGE! I would put a lot of money that those spacers will NOT fit oem wheels. They work because the aftermarket wheels most likely have a huge chamfer on the back making space for the spacer chamfer to go over the hub. If you plan on using the oem wheels with the spacers they most likely will not work. I would double check to make sure the spacers still sit flush on your velos wheels as that must be a really aggressive chamfer

Ok, finally had a chance to check and confirm everything. As mentioned they do not fit the OEM wheels however given
how they fit on those wheels, there is no way I would have missed that, not even close to flush. Picture attached. As
for my Velos wheels, they work perfectly and are completely flush with both the hub and the wheel. See attached.
So mystery solved here and I'm good luckily. Oh man, the fitment on OEM wheels is scary if anyone were to try that.

Not flush at all!!


Perfectly flush!

Hey Star, I have a stock 19 inch multi-spoke wheels and wanted to put spacers on the rear only. This 12mm H&R DR series for the rear works? Any recommendation for lug bolts and what length? I am on stock suspension and will not be lowering the car, just want the rear stance to be more aggressive.

Thank you.
