:massive facepalm: WRONG. What do you think a hubcentric spacers is, anyway? IT IS STILL HUBCENTRIC! If it's made correctly, it will still result in a wheel perfectly centered on the hub

Neither do I. It's about as simple a concept as there can be.

now.... you take your brake rotor and you make it farther out 1 inch. (lengths differing on spacer sizes... and you put the correct bolts on.
Assuming it is a CORRECT wheel spacer (meaning hub centric) it will STILL be hub centric with very little/no weight on the bolts.
