I'm sorry to see you've run into problems with your wheel spacer. I bought my 27mm wheel spacers off the same seller from ebay, and i didn't run into that problem, or any for that matter. Strange to see that your OEM lugs stick out like that

 

i have the same spacers, they work great on my OEM wheels but not so good on my TSW wheels, the 25mm are good on both set of wheels

 

i've drilled the back of the wheels before. got a huge drill bit at home depot and went at it just enough to clear the same issue your having. it works. no loss and cant really mess up anything. just use the spacers studs to make the marks and drill away. just enough not all the way through =)

 

your spacers are 10mm thicker than the OP's...thats why his OEM lugs poke through and yours don't

 

Stop what you're doing, don't cut or drill a damn thing!! Think about those spacers, where is the centric ring and how are your wheels going to be centered? I've seen spacers that come with that lip or ring that centers your wheel, that's the only way you'll ever get a correct balance. Forget these spacers and get the ones that do the job right....typical eBay trash & wasted money!

You got the wrong style wheel spacers. You need to get the kind that comes with the extended studs not the ones already built in. If your wheels have a flat back to them or not deep enough space on the back side the ones you got won't fit. The ichiba v1 is an example of the kind you should get. But h&r also has the same kind and I believe so do other brands as well. I'm looking into the same thing with mine and I'll have to go the extended stud route if I want them correct.

 

Oh also like Gary said you need to get a hubcentric spacer

 

o.o I'm not doing anything. I said in a post a while ago that I was just going to get new ones hahahaha. I appreciate your concern and passion towards helping your fellow member, though! By the way, they do have the hub ring that allows it to fit snug around the thingy.

I know it doesn't matter, since it's not going to work due to size, and I'm going to buy new ones later, but I figure I'll share pictures, because this "ebay trash" is ebay treasure n_n.

Spacer & Hub Ring it came with:

Gonna bolt that down and put a wheel on it??^^

 

No. Did you read the rest of the stuff in that post? Or... this whole topic? xd

 

^ lol. Doh!!!

 

Just curious, what rims were you planning on using the wheel spacers with? oem 19's?

 

LOL at this....It has nothing to do with the brand of spacer, but everything to do with the thickness of the spacer and the lack of reliefs cut into the back side of the wheels. Cutting the studs or drilling the back of the wheel will not affect the hub centric-ness of the wheel or the spacer.

I agree with not cutting anything, thats just going to creat a possible safety hazard and issues down the road when you decide to change your wheels or remove the spacers.

Op you have three options.
1) buy new wheels with reliefs cut in
2) buy thicker spacers with built-in studs
3) buy spacers without built-in studs, and get longer studs.

 

Hmmmmm... Did YOU read the rest of this stuff in that post? I was trying to say that it doesn't matter if they came with hubcentric rings if the lugs weren't long enough.

Sarcasm=missed

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought I had voiced my opinion on page 1 Post 7. Maybe not

 

Haha, I don't usually look at names or memorize them. Sorry xd. Internet needs a sarcasm font.
