Default H&R Spacer question - 8mm

Is there enough lip left over on the hub ring to put the wheel, after placing 8mm spacers? I prefer to not have the wheel held on on by the lugs.

I am trying to decide between 8mm and 15mm - I would prefer the thinner spacer (lip-less) but will go w/ the thicker spacers if there isnt enough lip.

Default I don't know the answer to your question, but your right in not wanting to use just the lugs. I

breifly ran 12mm spacers without the hubcentric adaptors, and I had some nasty vibration.

Default 8mm "lipless" didn't work for me

nasty vibration at highway speeds....

I think you gotta have lip.

Default why not go 10mm. i have a used set of 8mm spacers still...

and i didn't really care for them. they caused me problems with my LMs. i even had my LMs rebalanced with a Hunter GSP9700 with road force and the wheels still shimmied. then i went with thinner 3mm spacers which were made of steel and had NO issues whatsoever.
