When you fit wheel spacers, how do you centre the rim?

[Ceeman]

I have just had a Wilwood disc/caliper conversion fitted and it does not fit behind the BBS without a spacer.

The problem i have found is that a spacer stops the wheel self-centering on the hub, i have done it by eye but is there a better solution?

Any suggestions welcome.

you'll need bolt in spacers that have a hub center on them . there sold in pairs and cost bout 40 bob a pair but u pay for a quality product

That's correct ^ . If you get the right spacers (or maybe get some made up for your car and wheels) the centre of the spacer will fit the wheel perfectly and you won't even need those plastic or metal ring things. That is how my spacers are and the wheel fits perfectly and becuase the spacers have the studs it is easier to fit the wheel becuase you can rest it on the studs and you don't have to line up the holes and get the bolts through while holding the wheel.

If you're searching for them, they're usually referred to as "hub-centric"

There's loads of choice out there; FK, Eibach and Delta all make 'em plus the bespoke options, here's an example:

The FK ones look quite pricey but I'm told they're good quality.
In saying that it's the Delta spacers I have and they've been fine.
