Default Anyone use these eBay hubcentric 3mm spacers?

I have searched all over this site, google, and have only found ONE result for my answer. I am looking to get 3mm spacers so I can put 09-11 Si wheels on my '08 Civic LX. (To clear the front calipers.) From everything i've read, getting hubcentric spacers is the best way to ensure no wheel vibrations at 70mph+. Seeing as this car is my daily driver and I plan to travel in it, vibrations are unacceptable.

I have found the link below, which is the only true hubcentric spacers i've found for our cars. They are 5x114.3, with a bore of 64.1mm. Has anyone used these? Is this a 100% guarantee that I wont have vibrations since the specs match up perfectly?

Thanks for the help guys.

The link is HERE!

I'm running eBay spacers without issue.

No. Not unless the company truly balances it out to compensate for the offset holes that are drilled. Odds are, because the relative size and distance spanning out from the hub, it'll be a non-issue though. The biggest problem with spacers are generally being too thick causing poor contact ratio between lug and thread. You'll probably be fine with those ebay spacers though.

For such small spacers you really don't need hubcentric rings.

I have 3mm spacers on all 4 without centric rings, and don't any problems.

EDIT- Don't buy those. Call aronud to a few tire shops, they should have close to the same spacer, likely for less. I got mine for $9 each.

Too late. Bought and already received. They look like great quality.
