see mine had a black trim around the hub so the spacer wouldnt fit? did yours have that black plastic piece?

that is a hub centric ring for your wheels. try removing the rings putting the spacer on and then putting the ring on top. Or put the ring into the wheel and then put the wheel on

 

[Eric Smit]

what the? no ring here. I guess we found another difference between early and late sonics.

If I was lower would I be hellaflush?

[$ub$onic]

Yes it would....

 

[firstorbit84]

That looks pretty flush to me.

Those rings are because Steve has aftermarket wheels with a different hub bore. I don't think they're factory parts

 

[slitzell]

H,m idk. I dont remember my wheels coming with those, laborsmith would know for sure since he has the same wheels

 

[Eric Smit]

ah, that's right. I forget some wheels need those spacers. :/

Wouldn't his solution be; remove black hub spacers, install DDM spacers, reinstall hub spacers?

[firstorbit84]

trust me. if the rings don't just pull off, pry them off gently with a thin blade screwdriver

 

[slitzell]

Yea i didnt go that far. Im swapping my rotors tommorow so ill will solve the dilemma then. Thanks everyone.

 

[firstorbit84]

Good luck. Yeah just put the rings over the spacer or into the wheels and you should be fine.

 

[Eric Smit]

good luck man.

[slitzell]

Yea tomorrow is gonna be an intense install day

Springs
Brake rotors and pads
Exhaust
Ic diverter

Hope it all goes smooth. No hidden bolt ninjas so i should be okay.

Slitzell, those black rings are definitely the hub centering rings that came with your wheels. Just pop them off like everyone said.

Put the spacer on, put the centering ring back in the wheel, and then put the wheel back on.
