Anybody use wheel spacers with hubcentric rings???
I have a set of ADR 19 X 8.5 Titans with a 35 offset. These things don't even come close to clearing the front calipers or sitting flush with the axle. Anybody know of any spacer that will also function as a hubcentric ring and give me the necessary clearance??? Or can i just get the rings from the manufacturer and use them with an H&R spacer???

If the spacer is about 14mm or thicker, it should have an inner centering ring...
If you are using thinner spacers, there may be enough of the hub protruding through the spacer to support and center the wheel.
I needed 7mm spacers on my Boxster to clear the new suspension. Unfortunately, my fancy Kinesis wheels have beveled center holes, so when they are moved 7mm out from the hub, they no longer make contact with the hub ring. I purchased fancy 7mm spacers from a Porsche race shop with extended hub "flanges" welded to the inside. Unfortunately, these won't work with the S4's hub.

What size did you need?
15mm spacers will work with all hub-rings.
The problem you're running into is only evident on 8mm w/lip, 10mm, and 12mm spacers.
MTM makes some spacers in 10mm size that apparently work with the hub rings.

If I understand you correctly..
You're looking for a spacer with the extra mounting lip. But you want the mounting lip to be larger than the standard 57.1mm size, so if fits YOUR wheels perfectly, so you can do away with the hub-rings for those wheels.
Those will have to be a custom spacer.

Re: my h&r spacers has a chamfer center bore, can't use it with the centering ring
all i know is that ADR is telling me it is not necessary to have the rings, but commmon sense tells me that i shouldn't have all the car's weight resting on the lugs. i definately need a spacer to clear the calipers on the front, from eyeing it up it looks like i need at least a 1/4" spacer, i'm assuming this would probably be about 10-15MM. then i get to deal with the tires rubbing...

YGM: i was hoping i could get 10mm with a correct size outerand inner lips
inner should be 57.1 and outer should be 66
so that i can eliminate the use of centering ring itself
if it become too pricey, a flat (no chamfer) 57.1 center bore should work fine too
