Hubcentric Spacers
Anyone got any alloy hubcentric spacers for a Ford (4 x 108) I need 10mm and 20mm (both +/- a few mm) ??

isn't 10mm a bit too small to be hubcentric ?
measure how far the spigot on the hub sticks out through the disc - I'm sure its more than 10mm (what kind of hubs are they?)

They are Escort hubs. I'm not near the car at the moment but I know Porsche ones are available in 10mm so I just assumed ......
Maybe a little thicker then - I've got plain 10mm ones which wobble like crazy at track speeds

I'm only mentioning it as I had to have a good hard think about how to do my 15mm ones....
I measure the sierra rear ones as 11mm - so it wouldn't have much of a grip at 10mm 
in the end I made my own 15mm hub centric ones because I didn't like the looks of the 'off the shelf' 15mm ones (there was almost no
metal in the corner)
infact here's whats left in my archive from my working out - if you fill in the blanks I can draw it up for you if you like:

Thanks for the info - It looks like I might need to rethink the front spacers then. I originally installed the 10mm ones as I had a clearance problem,
but I think I might solve that in another way now. Either way the plain spacers have to go as they introduce horrific wobbles at speed.
Just the 20mm ones now then

depending on the wheels your using you might be able to do something to get 10mm hub centric spacers....
do your wheels have a plastic spacer ring in the centre ?

I'm using Compomotive wheels which don't have spigot rings

it was just a thought, if the centre bore of your wheels was bigger then you could have made some stepped spacers that would let you have them 10mm
hub centric no mater waht size the spigot on the hub is...
btw - when I was looking the cheapest set of new spacers I could find were £80 a pair

you could always get a quote for having your own ones made...
would you like a copy of my CAD drawings ?

Excellent idea, but I suspect that they would be a bit more than eBay 
17mm might be ok for me and I am going to check this morning.
