Z1 wheel spacers smaller dia then wheel?
 
So just got my z1 spacers and kind of surprised the overall diameter is smaller than the stock sport wheels. Is this right? Are the h&r a bigger diameter to fit better? Seems odd to not be at least as big as the oem wheel.

The overall diameter of spacers will always be smaller than stock sport wheels. Just imagine running 19" tall spacers on your car. But yes, I know what you mean. The Z1, H&R, and Ichiba spacers I used in the past were all smaller than the mounting face.

Lol ok you guys win. Yes I meant the oem rim mounting face diameter. Well I guess as long as there is enough surface area there then it should be ok, just look a little odd having a gap between wheel and rotor.

Oh i see,it should be fine,many spacers made smaller to reduce weight...
