I see the NHRA is changing the ruling on wheel spacers - they are allowed, but they have to be either lugcentric or hubcentric. No more mr gasket type spacers will be permitted. NMRA and FFW have said that they will be enforcing this rule.

I can get a nice set of aluminum lugcentric's made - but I need at least two other orders to get the price down a little. Maximum motorsports wants $75/pair - if I can get two other people I can get them for $60 (not MM brand)

Any of you guys interested??
SN95's that run skinnies have to have a spacer to clear the brakes.

Please PM me if you are so I can get this rolling!

Thanks,
Eric

Support your local buisness man and order with Eric. They will be better pieces made by one of our own!!!

What is the difference bewteen lugcentric or hubcentric?

ARe you ordering 5-lug spacers?

How wide are they?

the mr. gasket ones are slotted to fit a various number of lug spacing, so they just kinda hang off the studs, you have to physically keep them in the center while tightening down the wheels.

the lug/hub centric ones are specifically for the lug spacing. think of it like how your disc brake rotors fit over the studs attached to the axles. it just slides on and has no "slop". the hubcentric ones i'm gonna assume have the same inner diameter as the hub on the axle, so it has no movement.

that's my basic rundown :)

the spacers on the front of my Z came in 1/2". but i only need 5/16" so i had them milled down to that specific width. and the fronts are lug specifc for my 4.75 lug spacing.(chevy) was expensive considering its just a piece of metal, but it's alot better than anything else.

I've got a set of billet lug centric "true 5 lug bolt ons" that I ran on my 03 Cobra. 7/8" I believe. You pay the shipping you can have them if you want them.
