I have some 5 lug hubs (2 of which I bought new off ebay. other two are rear z32s) which I will be using for a conversion and just got my 20mm H&R spacers.

The spacers do not fit flush against the hub because of a small lip towards the bottom of the center of the hub and there is no cutout in the center bore of the spacers for that small lip.
The spacers have a 66.2mm center bore which is what the TOP of the hub is and it slips on great until it hits that small lip on the bottom of the shaft/hub making a small gap between the spacer and the flat part of the hub.

So how the hell are you guys getting your spacers to fit against the hub??? Id imagine all H&Rs come like that since I got 2 sets... and im pretty sure all S14 hubs have that lil lip on the hub.

Anybody know of any 20mm hub/wheelcentric spacers that will fit on S14 hubs w/ the lip?
Im about to send these H&Rs back:down:

Oh and the part #s on both sets of spacers are 4065662 which is for S14s

I vote send them back and buy Cobra wheels. For the price of 2 spacers you have almost bought two new Cobra replicas which require no spacers i.e.: 17x10.5 +27...

Hella USDM tyte.

No experience with the 5 lug spacers though.

are you test fitting them with rotors on them?

What is the part number on the other H&R Spacers?

If they were for a Z32 they should fit no problem...

But it sounds like the ones you got on ebay are for a car with a 5x114.3 but a smaller hub bore...

doesn't sound like it to me. You do realize they are susposed to go in between the wheel and the rotor right?

How in the heck did you expect your rotors to line up inside the calipers if you spaced them 20mm out?

I agree with Dousan, please, BE CAREFUL!
