Help!

2012 JCW Coupe.... I can only find spacers that fit it in 5mm and 15mm... but I am looking for 10mm. H&R, Coopersport, dont have them.

Any other ideas? I am putting the NM springs on it, dropping it 1.2".

I am pretty sure 15mm spacers will be too much, 5mm too little. And I cant find anyone that supplies 10mm to fit a JCW Coupe.

The reason you don't find 10mm spacers is because they will cause you to loose your center hub, making installing the wheels exactly centered very hard.
If you really are set on 10mm, just get two sets of our WMW 5mm wheel spacers and stack them.

hmm.. thats odd about the center hub. oh well I guess I will have to go with 5 or 15 then, I'd rather not stack them if it could be an issue.

I would prefer 15mm, but after a 1.2" drop does anyone have any idea if 15mm would be too much? Or does it seem like there would be no problem.... sorry for the noob questions, I don't trust my measuring, I'm hoping someone already has experience putting 15mm on with a drop.
