Slip on spacer are dodgy. They transfer all the shear stress load onto the wheel studs.

If you're going anywhere near spacers (which are totally illegal in every state lol) go for 'hub centric' spacers like these. They keep the shear load on the hub.

When you order, you need to specify the width you want, the stud pattern (114.3 x 5) and the hub diametre (67.1mm)

for under 10mm, if the slip ons are hub centric, are they OK?

(obviously not for street use which is illegal ;)

The other thing to be wary of is insurance. If you have an accident, would this be enough reason for your insurance company to refuse your claim...?

i think Ben mentioned before that anything thicker than 6mm requires longer bolts, so slip-ons are no good'

Yeah agree you would need to be looking at longer bolts regardless, but was after Ben's opinion on running a slip on spacer that was hub centric.

It could be. Considering if you have non-legal (but still OK) tyre tread left they can refuse your claim, then Im guessing a completely illegal modification to your wheels/hubs could void any claims without any other questions asked.

First thing an inspector does is look for any reason to turn down your claim and save them money.
