Depends on what you want to use them for, cupholders, coasters? You need spacers that are hub centric with the flange for the hub and a slot in the flange for the wheel to fit into or the wheel won't fit and may damage your wheel. At best it will slip and become unbalanced. Also you'll need exact size bolts, to short and you may lose a wheel, too long and they'll cut your brake lines. This is not an area to experiment in, find the correct spacers with the correct bolts. Eibach or H&R sell them for pretty cheap, about $110 for a pair with bolts.

yeah
yeah I have 15mm sittin in my garage now becaue my new rims can take only like 10mm maximum for clearance now...
I wonder if the lathe at my place of employment (machine shop) can take down the 15mm set I have???? hmm......
another $100 for spacers kinda sucks.

youd still have to buy the proper bolts, wouldnt it be easier to just buy 10mm spacers and bolts and try and sell the 15mm spacers and save yourself the risk of not trimming it properly.
