Where to source 10-12 mm spacers

I personally think 15 mm spacers for stock rear wheels/tires are just bit too much for my taste.

I am trying to source 10-12 mm spacers that would be good enough to fill the fender gaps yet would keep the wheels/tires from sticking pass the fenders

Any recommendations ?

Make sure ( the spacers ) are hubcentrics!

15mm spacers will not make the stock wheels stick out at all. In fact you can go with 21mm if you roll the rear fenders.

what he said ^^^. make sure anything over 7mm has a hub centric protrusion.

5mm is the thickness of a nickle - you can really tell the difference?

We have H&R 14mm spacers ... pretty close to the 12mm you had mentioned

Let me know if you need a pair

Thanks
