Default Help me identify these wheel spacers.

Recently got these with a set of c5 think spokes and the guy said he used them on the backs.. I didn't know how to use them with the oval holes they won't center behind the wheel.

In theory, they should center up on the hub of the axle. The center holes of that particular spacer, however, look way too big to do that. I'd pass on them, SERIOUSLY....

Clever way to get a crotch shot into a thread

I have never used spacers before, having said that, if they don't center on the wheel that would scare me.

You bet. Dong shots

They hang on the studs and don't center at all. I'm not using them and my rear end is off center with the stock panhard bar so I ordered an on-car adjustable aftermarket one to center it up and not rub on the passenger side

Well you are definitely doing things the right way. Are you going to get some different spacers?
