Default Wheel spacers, just need a little clarification before I bite the bullet.

Okay I will be purchasing Project Kics 20/25mm spacers for my 2006 G35 Coupe. It's on stock suspension and 19" stock rims as of right now.

http://www.frsport.com/Project-KICS-...rn_p_3028.html

These are the ones I am thinking about purchasing. Will be fine just buying them and slapping them on, correct? No need for a hub centric spacer or anything? (Whatever that is.. LOL)

Thanks. Looking to purchase as soon as I get some confirmation. Thanks again.

Just order Ichiba hub centric spacers, hub centric is much better and reduces vibration.

Some would even say Ichiba is safer, I myself have Ichiba.

I have the 15/20 Kics spacers, with the optional hub ring. Not sure if you need it, but I have no vibrations issues, and makes lining the wheels up to the lugs a snap.

Optional hub ring = Hubcentric?

I got this response over at G35Driver

I would reconsider and go with a hubcentric spacer. H&R makes a hubcentric in both 20 and 25MM. The Kics posted will put the weight of the wheel directly on the studs rather than on the hub.
Where would one purchase these?

I have not seen any problems posted about the Kics spacers breaking off or anything. The Kics spacers just bolt on, all the other spacers you have to take stuff apart and change out your stock lugs with longer ones (PITA). I am getting Kics and am just waiting to see if I need the hub ring or not.

Get the hub ring , leave the cheap non hub centric stuff to the civic crowd.
