I would never run a spacer that is not hubcentric,they are garbage and should not be allowed as they put extra load on the wheel bolts ,plus cause unwanted wheel wobble.


Ok you can't get, because they can't make hubcentric spacers under 10mm!  :rolleyes:

I would love to be proved wrong. Post a link.

5mm is worth it. I have them on the back. I also have 14mm hubcentric spacers on the front.

They look pretty flat to me. Hubcentric spacer will have a lip on it to centre the wheel. They don't have that.  :wink:
