    ^^ 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 keep reading that, why couldn't they be? The protruding center bore part has nothing to do with the thickness, that portion of the spacer fits in the wheel hub...

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

    Default Spacer

    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.
