Do 10mm Spacers Fit Our Hub?

I'm thinking about throwing a 10mm spacers for my front wheels and was wondering if they would fit? I've read that the lip on our hub's extend to almost 11mm and that would leave a gap which would potentially cause vibrations.

Can anyone clarify or confirm if this is true? My front wheels currently have a spec of 19x8.5 +20

I have read the same thing but I run 10 mm MS spacers on all four corners with no issues. On a side note those fronts stick out pretty far with a spacer..

I have 10mm all round with no issues.

They are fine if properly designed.

The MS spacers have an extended lip just for this purpose on all 10mm or larger.
