WTB 5mm hubcentric spacers

[A5 VRX]

Thinking about adding some 5mm spacers to the car to see if I can get it to sit that bit better. Anyone got some they don't use at all?

Thanks

5mm I believe is to small, if you ask machine monkey he'll be able to explain why, iirc 12mm is about the smallest you want to use

No I want 5mm buddy, cheers

You can get 5mm shims as the original hub flange still seats on the wheel

I think I'll have a pair in a couple of days. Bimmec ones

Happy to stand corrected

You'll be searching a long time Adam as no such thing exists being pedantic. You'll have no problem finding a 5mm spacer though I'm sure.

I know your being pedantic Tom but you can get some thar have same sized diameter flange so that they don't vibrate at speed
They mount so that the wheel will sit hubcentric whilst still having the wheel being located correctly on the existing flange

Short answer, yes.
Any 5mm spacer will be hubcentric in that regard.
Nothing like a real hubcentric 12,15mm etc.
As I said, I was being pedantic... Personally I'd not run a 5mm leaving the other 5mm to support the wheel instead of the full 10mm, but that's just me (and some others).

No not any, there's loads of spacers on ebsy that are 5mm which aren't the same size dia centre bore so will wobble at speed as they aren't mounted centrally on the hub.

I've got 12 & 15 mm H&R ones that I ran on my standard wheels, I just need a bit more poke on these CSL's. Looking for a 5mm spacer with the correct CB, I can get some made but was just seeing if there was someone who didn't need there's anymore

Yes, i'd definitely suggest getting some that are the right size.

You didn't want Jamie_Z4's ones?
