Advice on spacers fitment needed

So I have 75mm macht schnell competition studs with project kics r40 ..the maximum recommended spacer size is 12mm... I'm looking to get the TurnerMotorsport 12.5mm spacers, do you guys think that 0.5mm is going to cause any major problems? In case you guys need to know, they are only going to be used with my set of OEM 19s on winter tires..

For those who may recommend that I try another brand. I already have MS spacers(18/15) as well as tried RE spacers on this car. Also, tried H&R on my old car ...I like to try other products to see which are better ..so I'd like to stick to TMS this time around.

Thanks!

The additional 0.5mm will be fine, I wouldn't recommend any thicker spacer on a 75mm stud length.

MS has also released a 90mm stud set for those wanting wider spacers.

Thanks Tom, I definitely didn't want to go over the 12mm ...but I wasn't sure if the 0.5mm would be an issue...the 75mm + R40 is perfect on my Neez..so I didn't want to go up to 90mm as well.
