Axle spacers and hub centric spacers, reason for each

[IceBergMan]

As above it sounds silly but why use 15mm rear axle spacers over just 15mm hubcentric?

Pros/cons?

 

[Mr R.]

Axel spacers don't add extra load to the wheel bearings.
Also you can keep your standard wheel bolts.

And since a lot of people remove the stub axles to sort the camber they're an easy solution

Whats the easy solution the spacers behind stub axles? and these cambered spacers, whats the need for those? apart from the obvious "to add camber".

Well add, correct, whatever you want to call it, many cars wont be even from side to side, and on track, a little more may be beneficial, so its common to fit shims.
If fitting camber shims, its easy to fint spacers at the same time, negating the need for hubcentric wheel spacers and longer bolts and such.
