Brilliant! Hub centric wheel spacers 2.5mm-20mm

After looking for and not finding very many options (none below 12mm) for thin hubcentric wheel spacers, i saw an ad for these. Very clever design, why didn't i think of it ?

R-5010 Hub-Centric Wheel Spacers


Hope this will help others have more success than i had.

I'll bump this once.

The 911 hub design does not allow for a conventional hubcentric spacer thinner than 12mm safely. As far as i know these are the only hubcentric spacers available in thin sizes do to their unique design.

Well, i was excited to find them even if no one else is !

Looks nice. What is the maximum spacer size that can be use without using longer studs?

Not very much. I think about 5mm would be all that i would use with stock studs. I have 12mm on the rear of mine and mocked up with stock studs the nuts only grab a few threads.

I have 6.5 mm (1/4") on my rears w/ the stock studs. They work fine.
