if you have hub rings installed then the wheel does not get off centered as long as they are torqued down properly...

If you do not have hub rings installed and you are running a spacer that is either not hub-centric or the center bore of the wheel is too large, the wheel is torqued down and possibly not centered on the wheel hub... and when driving, weither it is centered or not, if you hit a pot hole or a bump, the force can snap a hub bolt.

Here is a generic H&R Spacer image that also shows how to measure for the correct size spacer...



Here is a picture from their web site of their 25mm adapters... DRM type...



Just like all their others, they make 5mm, 15mm, 20mm DRS Spacers...

This is where it gets tricky and alot of people are disapointed...

15mm & 20mm DRS Spacers from H&R are Hub-Centric to the Scion's wheel hub and extend the wheel hub out... Like seen in the photo above...

the 5mm is too thin to extend the wheel hub... So it is simply just matched to the center hub. Basicly looks like a flat washer with 10 holes in it rather then having the extended hub... The H&R 5mm do not have that part sticking out in that picture above... picture the hub bolts removed from the above picture and that is what their 15mm and 20mm spacers look like..

I know I have 15, 20, and 25mm H&R spacers in my office, generally dont have any 5mm H&R's since they are not truely hub centric, and almost $70 for that... well.. your mostly paying for the longer hub bolts...
so you sell these H&R spacers?
