Can you elaborate a bit more on how they stole your specs? Are these the forged spacers you were referring to earlier in the thread? Have you heard about any issues with these spacers since your initial post? I saw an IS at the Miami International Auto Show at the NIA booth that had this kit and it looks great, but I was worried they were a no name Chinese brand and I don’t want my wheels falling off lol

Hello, sorry to bring this thread back from the dead. Can anyone confirm if 15mm H&R spacer (or other brand) will fit in the rear? Bought some generic 12mm spacers for the back as I didn’t want it as flush, and they don’t clear the protruding the hub flange. Thanks in advance!

Was your generic spacer hubcentric? I suspect not, per your statement regarding not fitting the hub. A 12mm or 15mm will fit if it's hubcentric.

Hi, the spacer was hubcentric for 60.1mm bore but didn’t have enough “depth” to clear the protruding part of the hub (indicated with my crude red drawing) so the spacer would end up hovering a few mm off the rotor vs mating flat against it. Do the H&R spacers or other spacers known to work have more clearance in the bore than these spacers? Just don’t want to buy another set and run into the same issue. Thanks

haha no prob, better for me to be completely clear also. I want to run only a 12-15mm spacer in the back but that flange sticks out ~15mm. So wasn’t sure if you need a 20mm spacer to clear it. Anybody run a 15mm spacer in the back? Thanks.

For stability and safety the spacers need to sit flush against the rotors and not floating on the hub. Will they sit flush once you tighten the wheels down? They might be hard to take off once forced on though.

No, the hub bottoms out against the lip circled. Other spacers I have laying around here all have similar construction, which makes me suspicious that you actually need a 20mm spacer to clear the hub. But would love someone to tell me otherwise haha
