When using a slip-on wheel spacer of negligible width (5mm, 7/32", 1/4", etc) does anyone make a spacer with an additional hub-centric lip or are they going to be flat? I don't remember how deep the hub is and want to make sure the wheel still slides on enough to grab the hub, or at least has a lip to grab similar to the thicker spacers.

Or am I overthinking this? Will the wheel still center on the hub with a small flat spacer?

Thanks

You cant have additional hub lip on the spacer as its too thin

Can you not use a flat 5mm spacer on these cars then? The hub lip on the rear only looks to be about 8mm to start with. I slipped on a quarter inch (6.35mm) spacer and noticed it covers almost all of the hub lip. I'm concerned that there is no longer enough hub to safely center the wheel.

The front hub has a deeper lip but still not by a whole lot.
