1/4 Wheel spacer question

[Roh92cp]

I just bought the 1/4" wheels spacer from CJ Pony and they don't have a hub centric lip on them. How do these work with keep the wheels centered when you install them without the hub centric ring or lip? Anyone have issue with these. Seems all the spacer under half inch have no lip.

The thinner spacers do not need the lip, because they are thin enough that the hub itself still centers the wheel.

Visualize that when the spacer is as thick as the hub is wide, then the wheel would "fall off the edge" of the hub. At that point you need to replace the "missing" hub with the extended lip.

Don't worry, be happy.

With a 1/4 spacer would the centric ring on the hub reach out enough to center the wheel so it's not just using the studs to center it?

Yes, that is what I was trying to explain.

According to the CJ photo of the family of spacers, 1/8 and 1/4" don't need the lip. 1/2" and thicker do.
