I'm guessing at only 5mm thick there's enough hub center sticking through?
Perhaps I should've clarified...

Those probably *could* work, but the 5mm ones linked above lack the built-in centering ring on the hub, like the 10mm H&R fronts do.

Steve ran into this on his SLK -- he needed 5mm for a drag setup, and had to get some 10mm spacers machined down. Neither one of us got the warm-fuzzies about running the spacers w/o the hub lip. Some may not have a problem with it, but I've heard of balancing issues with the 100% flat spacers.

Price is right, though.
