Think they are actually called Hubcentric caps

Looking for, anyone know if they exist in this size?

 

I believe the smallest they make is 5mm

 

yea E, you are either going to have to get super creative with rubber bands or sell the rims.
I am J/K about the rubber bands

 

why wouldn't a 5mm work to make the wheels fit (going off of daves post)?

More clearance is better than just enough right?

What's the actual application anyway?

 

they make 3mm... and the hubcentric portion/concern is a non-issue when spacers are that thin... as long as the center hub still reaches the bore of the wheel... you're GTG..

SubyDude has 3mm spacers and I've seen them on E-Bay as well.

 

I think the proper name is hubcentric cap, not spacer. Pls forgive my noobness.

I have VW BBS RCs that I thought would work but the center hub bore is 57.1mm and as everyone except for me knows the subaru CHB is 56.1mm.

Also thanks for the input Tazer & Cynt

I love these wheels so I am hoping to make it work...

 

Ohh snaps, I do like those wheels.

 

I'll round up the group to meet at your place and take a look tomorrow.
Otherwise I will help find someone to buy them from you.

I just talked to David and he said when they put them on all of the cars weight was on the lug nuts.
Girlie you either got ripped off or the person who sold them to you didn't know what they were doing to their car.
We will see what we can come up with tomorrow, and look up how bad it actually is for the car.

 

^^
lol, Well I know how **** you guys are so you would think that if it is not perfect its a disaster.

No worries, I will look up stuff tomorrow.
You guys do not need to come over. I would just feel better if I could find a lil rubber ring to put on it.

 

You could have a 1mm spacer machined.

But.... its only 1mm..

 

uh...... only 1mm?
Thats enough for it to not fit which is what makes the difference.

How many people on here run on wheels that are least 1mm off?

 

i am running VW BBS RC's on my car with no hubcentric rings and no problems... for about 25k now. Throw them on, make sure your lugs are tight and you'll be good.

pic for proof:

 

Would be best to have the hubcentric rings even though you CAN run without.

Just ensures no movement and makes it less likely to have lug damage.

The 3mm should be fine unless you have some kind of really exact measurement you're going for.

 

Thats what a lot of ppl have been telling me. Its OK to leave"as is" but it really should be with the rubber and no movement.

I was told it depends a lot on what the wheel is made out of and the road conditions.

 

Thanks for the input everyone!
