If you're nice to the guys @ discount tire direct and phrase it properly, they'll send you a set of hub-centric rings for free. Then you're just looking at a set of off the self spacers.

I really like you're thinking though

LOL, thanks!

I actually already have a set of hub rings and everything works fine sans the slight contact in the front. My concern with the off-the-shelf spacers is their cooperation with my current hub rings. They're only like 10mm in thickness so if the 10mm spacer had a center bore of greater than 73mm (Enkei bore size) then the hub ring would end up inside the spacer and not really do anything. I know eBay sells the spacers that are supposedly hubcentric quoting hub bore as either 59.5mm or 60.1mm. If the former were true I could just put my current rings over the spacer and all would be good. I may end up going that route as, just depends on what the shop comes back with.

Either way, I think I'm actually just going to have them quote a hubcentric 10mm spacer with the stock bore, then I'll just use my current hub rings. If anyone else were interested I feel this would get the best response - I'll see what a bulk price would be next week (probably Wed.).

One last question, I read another post here that in order to install longer wheel studs in the rear the hub has to be removed - is this correct?

The problem with that ill be I don't believe the step is 10 mm. So the 10mm spacer may completely cover the centering step.

That is correct.

I agree, that is why I intend on designing a "hub feature" onto the spacer. I've made another real quick one for an Enkei-specific bore size so you can see what I mean:



I want to do something like this, but with the stock hub bore and I'm running into an issue - the ID of the spacer must be 59.6mm to accept the stock hub and the OD of the spacer hub must 59.6 to work with my current rings. The ID of the spacer needs to taper or step down to like 54mm or something to allow for material to be machined off to make the OD of the hub feature 59.6mm. I currently do not know what the "step" height is on the factory hub, which is needed so I know where the ID can step down in size (I think it's like 5mm or so).

What necessitates the need for the removal of the hub for longer studs? Is there just not enough spacer to feed the longer studs through the back when it's assembled?

Oh yeah, I corrected the first drawing.
