Are you talking about Hub-Centric Rings?

youre excused, theres always one isnt there? OK in my opinion the only way to fly safely....feel better now? the aircraft alum adapter seems more solid to me, no changing of studs either, just bolt it on and ready to roll... of course thats only my opinion, feel free to change your studs and use a spacer it is a free world and go enjoy your car any way you choose

I had a set of 2" hub centric spacers for the rear of my Porsche to utilize 345 on 15x13 rims. No problems with it. Make sure it's torque properly and occasionally check to make sure all are still secured.
