Spacers for the front

Where do you all source yours? My understanding is that our front hubs are only actually 66.5 mm for the first roughly 5 mm, then it gets a bit smaller, which means the spacer needs to be wheel centric, but my spacers I had made don't fit because the part that is wheel centric dips down too much (if this makes any sense)

is the hub supposed to get smaller or is mine worn? (this might be a terribly stupid question)

I got them from a member on here, but they sell them on eBay all the time. Just make sure they're hubcentric and for the front. Front/rear are different.

You might need this type of spacer for the front only.

^Yeah thank you after more research I found the options are either A. the type of spacer you posted or B. A normal spacer with the inner portion of the wheel centric lip grinded down to fit. I ordered some of the above pictured spacers

It all over Ebay but the best quality is H&R brand. When order, just make sure that it specify front spacer only. Here's the H&R brand.
