to those running wheel spacers especially the 8mm and or below which does not come with the center lip, what's the best way to mount and center your wheels? Before the spacers, I am able to hang my wheel on the hub with the use of plastic centering rings. Now, the wheel cannot hang on the center hub anymore because with the added spacer, there isn't enough room or should I say the center hub is a bit shortened.
Is this making sense?
TIA

I "have to" run spacers up front, because of my brakes. But I dont have spacers on the rears. I use the lugbolts to center the wheels on the axles.

Just to get the wheels to stick out a little bit. Spacers are fronts only.

10mm & 15mm H&R spacers, which have the hub-centric ring on them. Since you run 8mm, you might consider 10's, with the hub-centric ring?
Or if the 10's are too thick, have 2mm taken off them at a local machine shop?
w/HC provision then have them fly-cut or ground to desired thickness if necesary. Non hub-centric spacers are a problem waiting to happen.

Looking at the pics below, my hub will be shortened due to the added spacer and my aftermaket wheel cannot hang on the hub tightly for centering even with the plastic centering ring that came with it. the hub is just too short. Maybe I need a different centering ring?
I don't think I want to get the 10's or higher since it will be closer to the fender and going through what you reccommend of shaving them is just too much of a hassle. hmm!!!
