noconforfx, this is basically you! And to all.
I got the H&R Track+ 15mm spacers from ECS Tuning yesterday and mounted em today. The front went right on. When I tried the back, the didn't fit. Why? Because the hub is too big. Does this make sense? So we tried it on a_cq's cq on the rear and the fit. So this says to me that the rear hubs on FWD's are bigger. Whats up with that?

Mine go on without effort...
How much interference are your having?
Maybe the hubs are dirty/rusty?
Try swapping the rears onto the front, to see if the spacers your trying to install are the same?
Do youhave the studs on?

its more than just dirt/rust....no studs there....hub is quite bigger....~3-4mm in diameter...
he didn't have anything handy to measure the diameter of the hb in mm so we don't know for sure. And yeah, we tried all 4 spacers, theya re the same that's for sure

yeah the hub is much bigger, but to ease your mind I dig clean the rust and corrosion away.
tried all remaining three spacers, 1 was already on the front. The part number were exactly the same. I looked at H&R's site and the bore for all the hubs sizes are exactly the same. 57.1mm for all. Do I have a disformed vehicle? Maybe the knuckle on the rear has something to do with it?

ha ha, yeah thanx. I'm looking for some measuring tape with metric.
I know I have some at work, for measuring diameter or body parts, but I don't feel like going all the way there just for some tape.

YES, I had the same problem.....
I filed it down just a very super little bit, put like a wd-40 or somtehing on the hub, and a little hammer tapping the first time. Now they go off and on like the fronts
