Question About Spacers

Is anybody running NON hubcentric spacers on their cars? I need 5mm spacers to make my new wheels fit, but they don't make hub-centric spacers unless they are 15mm or bigger. My concern is using the 5mm spacers and getting vibrations. Please let me know about your experiences using spacers, whether it be positive or negative. Thanks!

If you run your wheels non-hubcentric, it is very common to experience vibration issues. I have many customers who do this for looks but say that it shakes. It isn't dangerous, nor does it vibrate in every sigle occasion, but you do need to take it into consideration for certain...

Can you not get away with only a 3mm spacer? If you can, chances are you may be left with enough lip to give the rim a place to sit, eliminating this issue...
