I guess instead of 10, I'm going to have to get 13. Freakin' poke.

Or switch to studs so you don't even have to bother with being hubcentric. ;)
BTW, BBS makes 10mm spacers. Expensive ($90), but they should still be available through BBS directly.Garrick

well. I looked for BBS spacers. Couldn't really find anything.
HOWEVER I did fill out a custom quote on wheeladapter.com, and no shit, less than 5 minutes later this 71 year old man calls me back on the phone.
We yakked for about 2 minutes about the spacers (he sounds like he knows his shit), and told me he will make CUSTOM spacers to go on my car. $60 a piece. ($$!!) Then, since I gave him my work email, he asked about me, and we ended up talking about the war and stuff for about 5 minutes. He just emailed me back, too.
I don't think I can keep up with this septegenarian!!Slicktop City!

The reason 10mm hubcentric spacers are virtually nonexistent for our cars is that there simply isn't much material between the back side of the spacer (where it engages the protrusion of the hub) to the front side of the spacer protrusion (where the spacer engages the center of the wheel).
Basically, the risk is having the center of the spacer be punched out.Garrick

3,5,8,10,13,15,20 mm in type A (normal spacers)
also Type B bolt-on spacers in 15,20,25,30,35 mm

This is how it works; you buy my junk, then I will buy more junk and so on so forth etc. etc. Think of the future of your children and buy my stuff.
