    Most of the spacers are both now. Hub and Lug centric. What kinda of factory wheel are you running.

    Do hub centric spacers fit right over the manual locking hub or how does that go?

    Looks badass. What headlights are those? I've been wanting to upgrade the stock ones in my first gen. It's very dark at night here and there's deer all over the highways so I want something a bit brighter but without being obnoxious to other drivers.

    No. The inside of the spacer steps down to give the wheel a hub to line up on. You can get a spacer but not a hubcentric spacer.

    Forgive me if this sounds dumb, but wouldn't the spacer be just like the inner bore of the wheel if there were no spacer? I was thinking you could install them and just reach inside a little to turn the hub to lock. Is this not so?

    yes and no. The wheel spacer steps down to allow for basically another hub for wheel to slide over. My art sucks but maybe this will help.

    On the pics above I have 1.5" spacers and I lifted my taco by putting on Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs and Bilstein 5100 series adjustable shocks. Taco is a 95'.

    The picture of your spacers show a lot of unused threads on the spacer nuts. I just ordered some spacers, did a test fit and mine look the same, is that normal? Have you had any issues?
