Default 5mm spacer question

is the factory hubcentric ring long enough to reach the center bore of the wheel when using a 5mm spacer? In other words does the hubcentric ring stick out off the hub longer than 5mm?

OEM hub ring is not going to protrude past a 5mm spacer....the hub ring is all of 2mm maybe? If you get a 5mm spacer make sure its hub centric.

i ve called ichiba they dont have a hubcentric extention on the 5mm spacer the ones i have had on there and don t give me any vibration, i ve had it up to atleast 100mph riding smooth that is what inspired my question i thought that maybe the hub ring pretruded maybe 7mm or so just enough to catch the center bore enough to keep it centered

nop, not all spacers have lips. that's why there are hub centric and non-centric spacers
