Spacers Question help please
I recently bought from a member Ichiba 5mm spacers for my E55, my question is....while they are chamfered around the hub opening they dont have a lip like the H&Rs I used to have, BUT in the past I only used 10mm and above, could it be that they dont have a lip because they are too thin (5mm )? , does anyone know if the 5mm H&Rs have a lip or not? Spacers are not something I like to gamble with. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Cheers.

If you guys are referring to the little protrusion (I guess you can call it a lip) that sticks out from the center bore of the spacer, yes mine has that. I also have these plastic type washers and are concave and fit into the center bore of the wheel where this "lip" fits into to secure the spacer. I guess that makes the spacers hubcentric to avoid vibrations.

Jimmy, the lip is the little ridge around the opening, I called H&R and they also confirmed that with the 5mm ones they have, no lip either, I will post a picture shortly. Regards, Max

I took one of my wheels off to see what we're all talking about. Everyone is correct, my 5mm H&R spacer DOES NOT have a lip. It is concave though around the center bore and that's where that little black plastic hubcentric washer goes. Unfortunately when I went to grab my camera the battery was dead so I couldn't take any pics. lol...sorry...
