Wheel Spacers

Looking to get wheel spacers and after an exhausting search trying to make sure everything is right, hub-centric & wheel-centric, stud grade etc, I found these. Has anyone used them? Don't really want to fork out $370 for just two (2).

Thanks in advance!

Where does it say they are hub centric and what is the bore size? I just went through this with wheels and I learned a lot. If the bore size is bigger than the hub even by a little they are not truly hub centric. It's all in my very recent thread, the hub centric info starts at post #17 by Carguy3j and without his participation I likely would have never known:

I come from the off roading community. People use spacers on Jeeps when they don't want to buy new wheels but want bigger tires. I've had several buddies run spacers with bad results, one lost a wheel on the road, his lugs broke off doing 40 mph, the wheel with the spacer rolled 300 yards down the road! Luckily nobody got hurt, but he's still pulling seat fabric out of his ***! Another had the spacer itself break while on I70 and another had the lugs on the spacer break off. I can't imagine that happening on a full size truck towing a 5er! They require regular maintenance and even that doesn't mean problem free driving. I personally would NOT run them on a tow rig...buy the wheels with the correct BS and be done with it.
