Long shot but why not...I have a pair of ECS 15mm hub-centric spacers with bolts. I'm looking to down size to 10mm as I think 15mm would be too aggressive for my rear wheel/tire setup once I get new tires. Let me know if anyone is looking to either trade up to 15mm or dump their 10mm spacers. Thanks!

Do you realize that the difference is less than 2 10ths of an inch?

Yeah, I know but in some scenarios 5mm is all it takes to clear a BBK. I'm not installing a BBK so I'm purely speculating here as I haven't mounted my new tires yet but if anything, it honestly wouldn't look any worse sitting 5mm closer to the hub.

It's your car so do as you wish. Just seems like a waste of time for 2 10ths of an inch. If one wheel had the 10MM and the other the 15MM I don't think you could tell the difference visually.

Beware that center bore of a 10mm spacer might not be deep enough to clear the lip on the rear hub. I tried a 12mm and it would not sit flush with the hub.

Not so much concerned with looks as I am about rubbing once I mount 235/40/18 ps4s. I guess I might as well just try first then reconsider my options. Thanks for your opinions!

Interesting..wasn't even concerned about that. I'll definitely consider this now...thanks!
