sorry, we have had some email issues but all should be straightened out. we do not make our 5 or 7mm with that lip. im not seeing the upside to this as it looks like the spacer lip only comes out as far as the oem lip which would create the same hubcentric lip for the wheel. unless it actually does come out further which could be a positive thing.

The lip on the hub centric spacer in the picture does indeed come out a full 10mm from the spacer (about 5mm further out than the hub lip) thus making it true hubcentric which is indeed a positive thing. If you look closely at the attached pictures you can see that. I just figured you guys might make one since you specialize in wheel spacers (and I could save myself the trouble of ordering from Germany).

Well that's a positive thing. I have shown these to our machinist and he said no problem. I'll use my car to get the specs so if you want to order, we will build'em. Thanks

Sounds great. I really feel that this is proper way to do the spacers to ensure proper seating of the wheel on the wheel hub especially with many after market wheels that have a slight relief in the center wheel bore making it difficult to seat on the "reduced" wheel hub that sticks out with the 5 or 7mm spacers. I'm out of town right now but I could also take exact measurements when I get back and forward them to you. I am really interested in the 5mm spacer. I am also assuming you can machine the two screw holes into the spacer so the spacer can be bolted to the hub. Please PM me the price if you don't mind.

Thank you.....

yes i think the proper way would be to drill the set screw holes as well.
