   i had some on my old wheels mate they was 35mm on the back and 25mm on the front and mine i had to bolt in four square shaped bolts onto the hub then the spacer sits on the bolts and because the bolts are suare it sits snug like if you get what i mean lol , and them bolts have a thread inside them so when you put you wheel on you srew the wheel nuts into the spacer bolts, if you get what i mena hard to explain mate but i tries lol

   Ive got 25mm on the back and 20mm on the front and mine do just sit on the hub and when you tighten the wheel nuts up the spacer fits snug, had no problem so far!!

   if you went to buy the cheaper ones remember you are ricking a wheel coming off which makes a right mess and could see you in a big crash these are not something you can afford to do on the cheap mate

    these one you bolt the adopter onto the hub then you bolt the wheel onto the hub adaptor..... this way there is no stress on the hub

    basically you want an alloy hubcentric spacer. Steel ones weigh too much.
