H&R Spacers Question

When puttin on the rear rims the rims fit rite on the hub and can be held there with no bolts or problems...

But.. when the H&R spacers are on its takes up the circle that holds the rim on..

is it okay just to bolt up all 5 lugs? the tire shop place didnt wanna put the spacers on due to the center circle not being able to hold the rim center..

should i be okay?

Are the referring to it fitting hubcentric?

1. If should always be able to make 7 full rotations on the lugs, then they are attached properly. Make sure to torque them to 80.

2. If your steering wheel vibrates, then the wheel/spacer is not hubcentric. What size spacer do you have? Did it come with a hubcentering ring?

3. Is it something else?

Are you driving the car right now, or did you leave it at the shop?

I can send you some 10mm spacers which come with hub centering rings. That is what I am running on my car. Wait, now that I think about it, if you can wait a couple weeks, I can send you mine. Either way, I can help you.

Thanks,

Ben

His problem is that the 5mm spacers do not leave enough of the hub for the wheel to properly sit on. 10mm (and higher) spacers come with hub-centering rings, which would fix this.
