i need to push my wheels out a little and am looking for some hub centric spacers, but im after the ones where you bolt the spacers to the hub first then the the wheels to the spacers....

what i need to know is whats the smallest size they come in, in this style of spacers...

20mm are the smallest I have seen, any thinner than that and there's not going to be enough room for a proper taper plus bolt head.
cheers,

What thickness spacers are you thinking of using? I dont like the above mentioned spacers at all, clamping to the hub is the only way to do it IMO
