WahooSteeler Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I plan on getting some wheel spacers for my rear axle, a la Hornbrod and Superwade2 recently, and several have been available on jeepforum. What are the pros and cons of hubcentric vs. non-hubcentric spacers? Most of the ones I see are NOT hubcentric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 With having done zero scientific research on this, I prefer hub-centric because the center hub shares the loads with the lugs. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubcentric centers your wheel by letting the wheels center hole slip onto the hub. non-hub, or lug-centric centers your wheel by using the lugs.

Othewise, they WILL back off and your wheel could very well FALL OFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Eggzacerly, as the OEM lug nuts do (and some aftermarket nuts). :cheers: I would not use non-hubcentric spacers or adapters for any application; not something to cheap out on mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
