I have a set of 15x6.5 Rota slips and up to now I have never used any spacers to center the wheels on the hub (I doubt this can be an issue since the lugs are being torqued to 80ft/lb). However, I am still a little uncomfotrable with the weight of the car being supported by the wheel studs . Where can I get a set of almuninum or steel spacers and what size should I be looking for? Thanks!

 

If the only reason you want the hub-centric rings is because you're looking for additional "support", don't bother with them. The rings are not designed or intended to provide any sort of support, they're simply made to help center the wheel during installation (many are even made of plastic). The lugs/lug nuts and the frictional force they create against the rotor are what supports the vehicle. Just make sure you're using proper tapered-seat lug nuts with the wheels.

So it shouldnt matter as long as I torque the lug nuts correctly?

&lt;--- Who is trying to avoid broken wheel studs

 

As long as you are using the correct tapered-seat lug nuts (stock Honda "acorn" nuts will not properly fit the Rota's tapered seat) and they are torqued to spec, you should have no problems.

 

Cool man thanks!
