I have a set of 12mm hub-centric spacers being shipped from OutMotoring for my R55 *. The boys @ Discount Tire won't touch them so I have an install question. What's the consensus on applying a thin coat of anti-seize or MolyLube on the hub and around the edge of the spacer to reduce it becoming stuck to the rotor?

I've read conflicting posts on the merit of applying these substances. Will post before / after photos. TIA.



* On Michelin Premier A/S 205/50/16 coupled to [OEM] R94 wheels.

 

The spacer usually doesnt get stuck on the hub since its aluminum.
Though for a preventative measure, I put anti-seize on the centering ring on the hub. No problems.

 

Never have heard of problems applying anti-seize and have used it on aluminum wheels for many years without complication. Can't see how it would be different with a spacer. Just use a very small amount. A little goes a long way.

 

That's what I meant to say. Thanks for clarifying.

 

Yes use anti seize on everything.

Places tire right flush with the Wheel well edge. Nice. Take a shot of the whole side!
