Just run 12 or 15mm spacers. Also make sure you run new longer wheel bolts.

Thanks, great thread. I've been reading up a lot on it over the past few days, and as per my post below it's just so confusing as others confirm that they're sitting flush with the hub on a 10mm.

I'd really rather only go 10mm on the front as I don't want any scrub, but will go 12mm if there's still any concern

Thanks mate. I think 12mm would be fine, it's more 10mm that's my concern.

I did re-torque the wheel studs after a day of driving.

I posted some pics on a thread awhile back...can't find it at the moment (on mobile).
Thanks so much mate!

Such varying information out there, but really good to hear that ECS 10mm sit flush. There seems to be a common consensus that 10mm absolutely will not work, but then others have success like yourself...very confusing!

Think I might chance it and see how 10mm ECS works out if I can't get confirmation that Macht Schnell will also work (can get them a little cheaper due to reduced shipping costs).
