I if was you I would buy the 5mm spacers and save the money. I mean, I rock mine just how they are with out using any spacers so...lol...If I was in your case i would probably just do that too but if you want to be totally undeniable safe then go ahead ahead and get some 5mm spacers for $59 and save the rest of the money for other stuff, maybe a tight looking set of lug nuts of something

lol
and here i thought u were running 5mm spacers,
Those I-forged Retro's are almost bought a set in chrome, but the sevas S22 was a bit cheaper...

but ya, thanx 4 the advise, i will see exactly how much its going 2 cost me for 6mm spacers and if they are 100% hubcentric, If they guarantee it's going to be good quality + hubcentric etc i will run the 6mm and be safe,

because 59$ + shipping for 5mm is dirt cheap, also, they are name brand & amazing quality!
but u definitely answered my question,
thanx again,

I will post some pix 2nite, just to paint a better picture of what my problem is, but u pretty much answered it

Maybe you can just put a piece of thick paper between the spacer and the hub.

Good one Michael !


You can order 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm spacers from Todd at TM Engineering.

Not all of these are in stock and I'm not 100% sure he has the 12mm, but just contact him to verify.

Several of us have bought the 3mm and 12mm spacers which were in stock. Great for taking the rim offsets out to the max or getting that little bit of BBK clrarance.
