Default Hubcentric rings for project kics 10mm spacers

I cant seem to find a set of hubcentric rings for these spacers. I bought a set of 10mm and 15mm Project Kics spacers, and i have the rings for the rears, but cant find the ones for the front. Help?

why do you need the hubcentric rings? does it cause vibration?

do your spacers have factory toyota/lexus centerbore? if so, and your wheels have the standard 73mm centerbore of most aftermarkets, then a store on ebay sell hub rings in a set of 4 for about $8.

Im using Lexus G-Spider wheels, and the spacers dont have the same centerbore as the stock wheels.. there is a gap. The rear spacers are the same, but the hub rings i have fit over the stock hubs perfectly. I just cant seem to the find the same hubrings in a 10mm, rather than 15mm. Cause the rings are as thick as the spacer.

Discount Tire wont sell them. I had my rims installed there and ran into BBK issues with the rims. They are not allowed to install or sell them I was told. I had to go back after hours to have them help me out.

H&R makes what you are looking for. They are around 70$

for some reason i'm confused... you're using factory wheels, so 63.1mm centerbore... how are you using hub rings with factory wheels? afaik, nobody makes a hub ring that fits in a 63.1mm centerbore of a wheel. do your spacers have anything in the middle or just a big hole?

The centerbore of the spacer is 67mm. So in the rear, i have a 15mm spacer, that bolts up to the existing studs, and has new studs attatched. There is a gap in between the spacer and the stock hub. The spacer is flat. So i have hub rings that fit in side the spacer, and over the stock hubs, and provides a new hub surface that protrudes beyond the spacer. That way the spacers become hubcentric.

Now.. i have 15mm spacers in the rear, and 10mm spacers in the front. I can find on the internet the hubrings made specifically for the rear 15mm spacers, but i cant find anything for the front 10mm ones. This is all confusing i know.. ill take some pictures when i get a chance.

Go to this site: http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...e=PROJECT_KICS

And you can see the spacers and rings im talking about.. i cant hotlink, cause they have it disabled.

Why not go with the H&R?? The set up is one piece (hubcentric). You could use this for the fronts? Maybe I am not sure what you are trying to do here.

Try this link to see what I am referring to.

Only problem is, i already have spacers installed on my car, i dont want to buy more. I just want to buy the rings to make my fronts hubcentric, like my rears. As of now, it doesnt vibrate or anything, so i may just leave it.. but eventually, i want to correct it.

another thought then after reading your last post. PM member JavyLSU he had custom Hub centric spacers made for the 2IS. If you can get the 15mm spacer and shave it done like you said its worth a shot. I bet this place can be of help!

Hope it works out. Wonder why they make them this way and not as one piece? any pros or cons either way??
