Hubcentric spacers are machined to fit the hubs precisely on the hub side and the center bore on the wheel side. Sometimes they are machined in one piece, sometimes, like the Ichiba, 2 pieces.

Hubrings


Type 2


Type 1 mounted

So its that separate hub-ring part that makes the differences since it acts as the connecting interface between the wheel hub and the actual spacer ring?

Mod.. I saw on your DIY you went 15mm on both front and back, any reason you didn't go 20mm on the rear?? Am close to ordering these.. definitely 15mm for the front, but have seen 15 and 20 on the rear mentioned here...just looking for some additional input before dropping the wallet.

Thanks
