D.L. · 12-24-2005, 10:55 AM

I would like to buy some aftermarket wheels for my box, but was told I would need 5mm spacers in the rear. I've been looking around a little, and was wondering if somebody could please tell me the difference between hub-centric and NON hub-centric spacers?

If the spacers are for wheel fitment only, is there a significant difference between the two functionally? Any information on wheel spacers or experiences with them would be appreciated. Thank you!

(FYI; the wheel sizes are 19x8.5 et 45, and 19x10.5 et 50. Do I really need spacers?)
