So a 10mm spacer would be perfect for my new wheels to clear the brakes on the rear. The wheels are already 10" wide so I don't want to go bigger as there'll be too much poke and although I'm already getting guard work done, I'd rather the minimal amount.
Problem I have with the 10mm is that when I trial fitted the wheels with 2 x 5mm H&R Trak+ spacers there was only a little bit of the hub protruding enough to sit the wheel on and centre it. So I know I won't have problems with centering the wheel but now it'll be mainly just be the wheel bolts (I will get extended ones) holding the wheel on. The hub would have little load on it. Question is how safe/unsafe is this?
I can't get the normal 10mm with the tapered register as the wheel won't sit flush against the spacer. Are there any spacers with the register to fit in the centre wheel bore that aren't tapered? I'd assume it'd have to be at least 12mm or something..
