Are H&R 5mm spacers hubcentric?

http://www.optionsauto.com/prodinfo....mber=HR1065662

Ok, I already have these installed but am wondering are these hubcentric?

I noticed that after having the spacers installed, the steering wheel feels loose at times. I had this same problem once before but that was from a loose tie rod. What can be causing this now? Spacers? If so, I will definately be removing those in a heartbeat.

no they are not, the original hub is still sticking out slightly.

Not hubcentric or not the cause of the problem? Do you think an alignment/wheel balancing will fix this?

sorry, i mean they are not hubcentric. they are too thin and do not cover all of the hub, so some original hub is still being used. you shouldnt have a loose feeling with a spacer. sometimes a vibration can be felt.

Hmm, now I am really stumped. I really want to know whats causing my problems. Its like a slight change in alignment but then its fine the next second. Happens often but started after the spacers....weird. I'm going to try an alignment and wheel balancing, see if that does anything.

This is all I have (rear spacers). The fronts didn't really change much, which is why I'm considering removing them.
