Project Kics spacers (install question)

DEpointfive0 · 07-04-2012, 03:32 PM

Hey guys, I'm going to install my project Kics spacers, I had/have Ichiba V2's on the car right now and I am running a stock sport 19" set up.
From what I have been told, the PK ones are LUGcentric, and are meant for aftermarket rims... And I've been told that the hub does not do anything in the way of supporting the stress and strain put on the wheels, it just makes it centered...

So... Do I NEED to get the extra hub extenders? Or use the Ichiba hub extender to make the PK spacers centered? (I will sell the Ichibas with their extenders, so using them is out of the question)

you can use the centering rings off the ichiba v2's on your kics. ive done this before and it fits fine if it's the same thickness.

you need to use the centering rings if you are going to run on factory 18's/19's.

as you were told, if you are running these on aftermarket lug centric wheels, you are not required to run the centering rings. those are meant only as an aid to mount your wheels correctly onto the car's hub. your factory wheels are hubcentric by design and relies on the ring when mounted onto the car.
