You ave linked 12mm thick ones which have a extra flange for the wheel to sit on. On 5mm it is impossible to have extra flange as that's what the original hub flange sticks out by so they are the best you can buy. Far better than the cast multi fit ones which taper in thickness
The ones you linked are crap, they fit onto the hub and reduce the space required for the alloy to sit central on the hub. Its a pain fitting the wheels onto the hubs as it is without spacers, So using hubcentric spacers are the better option. If you feel 12mm is to thick you can always get the back grinded down.


I also have a FRST and theres 5mm spacers on the hubs, Same type as you linked above and fitting the wheels is a bloody nightmare, and the alloys barely sit on the hubs.
