Hey guys total newb here - is there a particular model for the RSS 7mm spacers. Any fellow canucks here that know if you can source in Canada or only order through the US? TIA
Do the RSS 7mm center the wheel?
(i know they say hubcentric but would like it confirmed. Curious how they manage to center on hub, AND have an edge for the wheel to center on as well with only 7mm thickness).
Do the wheels center with 5mm non-hubcentric spacers?
I have tried 7mm non-hubcentric but they did not center (due to angle on both wheel and hub there is not enough reach I guess). Considering 5mm non-hubcentric or ordering RSS 7mm. (I already have 7mm longer titanium bolts. Not sure if they work on 5mm but hope/guess that there is more than 2mm clearance on the back).
By staggering the lip segments for the spacer's hub centric lip between the ones on the hub, they can still be made hub centric. Here's a photo of the 5mm Rennline ones (I don't have these, but have previously used their spacers on a 911).

I tried some of this kind from FVD, 7mm, and they did not fit, the three lips didn't allow the spacer on. (But it was not the correct part no, it doesn't seem they have it for GT4).
But this is why I would like confirmation/pics before I order for example from RSS.

Ah. I haven't taken off a wheel on my GT4 yet and had assumed they had those staggered hub-centric tabs. But I see in your photo they do not. Sorry for the misleading post!
Thanks @enduro !
Looking online for photos, I've actually found a mix. Some show 5 tabs like yours and some show no tabs like OP's.
For ones with no tabs I'm not sure there is a solution possible that would allow a wheel centric lip for thin spacers (they are already hub centric, they just don't extend the lip for the wheel). I know that some spacers I have used included screws to affix them. These go through the same screw holes that affix the hat to the hub (basically just longer hat screws).
