see mine had a black trim around the hub so the spacer wouldnt fit? did yours have that black plastic piece?
That's why I posted the question about interference with centering rings when the spacers were first introduced. Looks like it is an issue. At least with Drag wheels. It looks like the center opening is less than 73mm (Drag hub bore) on the DDM spacers. These have a 78mm center bore. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200870514070?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 At least I think they do. I emailed the seller to verify. Eric, your wheels don't have centering rings?

Actually, it's not an issue. The centering rings go in the wheels. If they stay on the hub when you remove the wheel, you should always remove them and put them back in the wheel before reinstalling the wheel.
I've had several cars with spacers and wheels that had centering rings.

If they stick to the hubs you can put a bit of copper anti-seize on the hubs (just not on the brakes)

Makes sense. I've never actually used them before. Glad it's not an issue because I'll probably want to use some spacers when I get my wheels.

No worries, there's a first time for everything. Consider your spacer cherry popped with care.
Yes, you were very gentle.........
It's possible that with the spacers, the hub-centric rings that go on the aftermarket rims will be useless. You would be spacing out the the hub on your rotor so that you effectively have no center hub. Your rims would only be lug centric at this point. A very slight chance that you may get a little bit of wobble when at highway speeds.

Nah. You'd need waayyyy more stretch and poke brah. You'd definitely be racekor stance tho.

I guess it depends on the thickness of the centering rings. If they are not substantially thicker than the spacers and sit inside of the spacers rather than on top of them then yes, I could see that being a problem. slitzell should be able to address this since he just did it.

Based on his latest pic it looked like he got them to sit on the hub lip even after the spacer was on.
Eric in your pic of the spacer it looks like you also have enough of the hub lip for a ring to sit on
I don't think vibrations should be an issue
