I can not speak to H2 wheels but they work fine with OEM wheels and Rickson forged aluminim but they will not work with Rickson steel (spare). The steel wheel bends them over into the calliper. It would not take much of a spacer to get it to clear i suppose. Hope this helps.

The Centramatics come with spacers included.... in case needed to avoid hitting calipers. Easy to tell if needed, with wheel off, by just sliding the balancers onto the lug bolts!
Also, they can be mounted with balancing 'ring' pointed in or out, so lots of options.
Love mine!

I love mine but I'm running stock wheels so no spacers. I'm guessing you're in a 2500 so $200 new is right I think, don't know about used. The front and the rear should look different.

You can call centramatic and get a set of spacers from them, they shouldn't be that much if not free. They are friendly helpful people there. All the spacers are is a thin sheet metal ring about 6" or 8" in diamater.
