5/8" spacers will push your wheel out by 5/8".... thats what they do. right?
That's what I thought. But, (and I hope i'm explaining this correctly) when the wheel was mounted on the hub, the wheel fit on the hub nicely but there was still space (about 5/8") between the drum and the back of the wheel. I was actually able to reach my hand between the spokes in the wheel, and move the drum back and forth. And that was with the wheel bolted down, strange I know. I noticed that the drums would move about 5/8" outward before they hit the back of the wheel so I bought the 5/8" spacers and the took up that space. Now the center of the wheel is still fitting correctly on the hub and hubcentric rings, and the back of the wheel is flush against the spacer, which of course is flush on the drum. I did one side at a time and the side with the spacer looked to my eyes the same as the side without. I have never heard of this happening before, and I did not have any problems with the discs in the front. Maybe this is unique to ADR wheels...
