There is a beveled lip and not much room on the hub where the wheel sits hopefully this is safe.

Thanks

That's not safe with Oem wheels. The wheel chamfer is bigger than the remaining spigot, so it won't locate properly.

Yes, hub extenders will do the trick.

Just checked turner motor sport and it seems they don't carry this for the e92. Do you know who else may carry this. Don't understand why you can't buy 7 mm spacers with a hubcentric lip like 10mm and thicker.

It's physically impossible to make a size for size 7mm hubcentric spacer with a 10mm deep spigot bore.

Why not just buy some proper 10mm spacers with the lip?

I currently have 12.5mm not sure if 10mm will make a difference. A friend of mine who is in tool and die will shave down my 12.5's to anything under 10 mm. Thinking of going 8mm. He has done this with my e46 and worked out perfect still have a hubcentric lip with zero vibrations.
