Another Spacer Question...

I was curious if I needed a hub ring for my 5mm slip on Kic spacers for the rear. I hear they are just slip on and done, but won't the spacer be loose since its 75mm inner diameter, and the GE bore is only 56.1 in diameter? I have a 1 inch drop from Progress sport springs, and upgraded to 205/50/16 tires, if it makes any difference. Any info would be awesome! Thanks

you won't need a hubcentric ring. your wheels aren't even hubcentric.

what is the thickness of your spacers?

I'll be adding spacers in the rear as well, i'm just wondering if 5mm will be enough (I'm sticking with the stock tire size, on stock sport wheels).

It should be perfect for you with the beefier tire. Take some pics and post 'em up after your install!

You guys should be adding spacers to the front. wider stance in front is better for handling. wider in rear could mess with your handling in a negative way

From the sounds of it, I don't think they're doing this for the handling...

Not in the slightest! Although, I highly doubt adding a 5mm spacer is going to effect the handling that badly... I just want to lose the ridiculous sunken wheel look in the rear, so it matches the fronts

My Fit is to get me to work and back. Thankfully I have a turbo Teg for all my serious fun, and weekend shenanigans
