Dick CepakDC-2 Hub Spacers

Greetings all, I installed some DC-2's on my 14 Tacoma TRD Sport DC, they came with spacers that were too big for correct fitment, so my friend installed the wheels without them. All was well until Toyota did my 1st 5K mile service and rotated the tires, had a bad wheel shake from 50-65. Took it to my local tire shop that did my alignement, wheels were out of balance but he also said I need those wheel hub centering spacers to center the wheel and take up the space, that Toyota didn't center the wheel when they re-installed them. He is trying to locate the correct size and a source for them but is taking forever. Has anybody else installed these wheels? Do you have the hub centering spacers and where did you get them?

Thanks for any help.

Hey man! Fellow LBI'er, i got some at sbr on rt9 in manahawkin. Im assuming youre just talking about the black plastic rings. good luck!

 

Have them on my 09. No rings on mine. No problem whatsoever.ring that came with them were for gm. Put them on without. Nice looking wheels but wasn't happy when box said made in china. If I had known I wouldn't have bought them. Clear coat blew off them already, had them for a year and a half.

Wanted to post a follow up, SBR Tire finally got back to me. They initially thought I needed the Hub spacer, but after they talked to the Dick Cepak rep, they were told that the Tacoma doesn't need the spacers, that the 6 lug wheel is self centering via the lugs, so I gather all that was causing my wheel shake was indeed the balance was way off. Haven't had a wheel shake since the tires were re-balanced.

 

You should find a different tire shop. That should be common knowledge for them.

Imagine all the other "wrong" thoughts are floating around in that place if they were not aware that aftermarket wheels are mostly all lug centric!
