Icon2 Hubcentric spacer question.

I purchased a set of H&R 10mm hubcentric spacers for my '97 2.2CL with aftermarket wheels. I've had a few sets of aftermarket wheels in the past, all of which were for my '92 Civic, but I never used hubcentric rings and never had a problem with vibration.

My question regarding the spacers is, the lip part that the wheel is supposed to slide over doesn't even touch the wheel. There's roughly 2 or 3 mm of clearance around the diameter.

I measured the inside diameter of the wheels which is 64.5mm so the spacers probably have a 60mm lip. Are these wheels not compatible? They're RWD staggered 4x114.3 which leads me to believe they're originally designed for the 240SX since there aren't many Japanese cars that use this lug pattern.

I don't have any vibration, but I thought I'd get some insight on this. Thanks.

It sounds like the spacers are the wrong size, and are not designed for wheels with a 64 mm centerbore. Send 'em back and see if they have ones in the right size.
