Kics Spacers and Hub Rings
I ordered project kics 10mm spacers and hub rings that work with these spacers. It turns out they don't have the hub rings. They say the hub rings should be 67mm->60mm. (Spacer->Vehicle). They also said that without the hub rings, it should work find. My questions are:
1. Will there be vibrations without the hub rings?
2. Does anyone know where I could get these hub rings 67mm->60mm. (Spacer->Vehicle)?
Thanks much.

Trust me, you'll have vibration if you don't get the Kics hub rings.
The correct hub rings by Kics must look 100% exact like these.
Believe it or not, most shops that sell you the Kics spacers don't sell Kics hub rings no matter what they say.
I found some ignorant dealer like http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...e=POLY-HUBRING trying to sell you hub centric rings for wheels as correct hub rings for Kics spacers .
If you are running aftermarket wheels and kics spacers, then you need two sets of different hub rings for wheels AND for Kics spacers separately.
BTW, you need to make sure that the backside of your rims have enough clearance for your stock studs (I doubt they will) since you are only using 10mm spacers.
You can order the CORRECT Kics hub rings here.

For your setup, I will only recommend you use H&R 10mm hubcentric spacers and replace the stock studs with longer stubs that come with the H&R spacers.

I have owned 3 set of H&R spacers (10mm,15mm,and25mm) and two set of Kics spacers (15mm and 20mm) before, so I am positive what I am talking about here.
Even you do find the correct Kics hub rings, chances are you will have to shave your stock studs to make your wheel fit properly especially for 10mm.
15mm and 20mm depend on wheels.
25mm will be safe since it flush with stock studs.
Unless you want everything JDM, I really don't see what is the point of doing it.
H&R will be the right way, at least you have less headache plus they are lighter.
I bought my all H&R spacers from TM Engineering.

sorry for the gravedig but i had the same question but had another question regarding project kics spacers and hub rings, do you jus put the hub centric rings for the wheels on the hub centric rings for the spacers? So installation would be wheel hub->spacer->hubcentric ring (for wheel hub to spacer)->hubcentric ring (for spacer->wheel center bore)->wheel? Also how much do you torque the nuts for project kics spacers?
