Default wheel spacers

what are the thickest spacers i could get away with without them needing to be hubcentric?

fitted these wheels today



but even with the 3mm spacers i had laying about its still like this



i know i will need longer studs which isnt a problem as they are fairly cheap but the hubcentric spacers are quite expensive compared to normal ones.

and yes, lowering it is on the to do list

I wouldn't suggest running any spacers that aren't hubcentric, but certainly 5mm tops.

what thickness spacers do you think i need? i'm thinking 10-15mm max as a wanted the tyres to go up into the arches when its lowered, can you get the hubcentric type as thin as this?

can anyone suggest anywhere to get them from? the ones on ebay seem expensive and they come with wheel bolts that i wont need.
