Ok. I have a problem. I have axis supermesh wheels. 5x112 et35. They have hubcentric rings in them. But I need spacers to make them fit over my calipers. I know I know im an ***. Whatever. So I bought 10mm H&R spacers (part # 24255571) with the hubcebtric lip. For stock wheel sizes. When I put the spacer to the wheel with the hubcebtric ring in them I get another 2mm of space between the flat part of the spacer and the ring. I don't think that's too great of a fit. Instead of resting the whole ring its going to rest on a thin piece of carbon. I also don't think the wheels will torque properly. Short quick answer I came up with is to bevel the hub side of the ring to make it sit on the spacer nice. OR go without the hubentric rings. We all know that's not a great option either. So.
Should I bevel the rings? Im a little worried about the precision on it. I probably will not get exactly the same angle on the ring as on the spacer on all 4. I mean were talking a beer or two and a dremel. Not a cnc machine. Other than selling the rims (these are really what I want) can anyone think of a better idea? OR should I just leave em alone? I really don't need wobbling. That's one of the reasons I bought new rims to being with.. thanks guys. Any and all help is appreciated.

You can use 8mm flat spacers, or 15mm. The 10 and 12mm both will have this problem.

If you need to get on the road asap, you can run without the *hubring*. Just tighten the wheel with it off the ground.

If you can have a machine shop bevel the hubring that's your best bet. BBS and OZ hubrings come this way. It will however depend how thick your hubring is and if there's enough material to support a bevel.

Thanks buddy. Its a carbon ring. and im guessing you meant if I need to get on the road asap (I dont) I can run without the ring not without the spacer. that would be LOUD since I need about 8mm of clearance from the calipers

Er yeah.. hubring.. Fixed.

in this picture, the one on the right or the other two?

If it has the taper like the one on the right, it won't work with anything but the stock factory wheel. The one in my pic is the H&amp;R 8mm but I believe the 10mm is the same 45 degree bore taper. If that's the case, there isn't enough meat in the taper to machine any material off. (Don't ask me how I know). When I tried to fit the OE-only spacer in my BBS wheels, the wheel was about 2mm from contacting the rotor hub surface. Same with my Hartmann reps.

Also, that part number you gave- 24255571- I believe is a 12mm spacer not a 10. the first two numbers-24- mean that the pair of spacers is 24mm thick, so one spacer would be 12mm. Hmmm.
