^^ i know a few companies make 5mm... as i have a set, but i don't want to use generic wheel spacers. worst case scenario i'll run a 10mm, but it would be nice to find a 7 or 8mm hubcentric.

I dont see how it can be hubcentric and so thin. Who makes them. I would be curious to see them.

What is stopping anyone from taking the typical 10mm spacer and milling off 2-5mm from the backside?

I was thinking you had a hubcentric wheel. If you have a 72 or 73 mm wheel that the spacer is going into you are good. If you were using a hubcentric wheel you would run into the issue of not being able to go too thin.
