Post No space for spacers! 10mm hub centric spacer?

I've installed the 21mm spacers (same thing Danno says he's done at his web site) from my early 944 NA, and put the stock phone dials back on my 86 turbo. My 225/50/15 tires with this set-up are rubbing! This set-up isn't supposed to rub is it? Does anybody make a 10mm hub centric spacer?
Thanks for any replies.

Where are they rubbing? At about 10 & 2 o'clock? You might need to roll the fender lips. Also read off the size and offset (ETxx) on those 15" Phone Dials for me? Perhaps a photo?

I've actually got the 16 inch dials (86 turbo).

I think it's only rubbing at around 2 oclock, I'll try to post a picture. I don't mind trimming the fenders, but I was planning on running 245s, and I just don't think there's enough space there (specially considering I want to lower the car a bit)...

I'm in a hurry now, but I'll try to post more + get pics.

Ahmet - if you have to roll, it's just a very little. I run this same setup (16x7 - 225/50, 16x8 - 245/45... all 23mm offset with 21mm spacers), but I have -3+ and -2.2+ degrees camber front to rear. How's your alignment?

My alignment's really off (haven't had it aligned, last owner didn't align it in unknown miles), I don't think I've got more than 1 degree negative out back...

The thing is my 225s are rubbing in the back (not too badly, but rubbing nonetheless), and I'm wondering how bad 245s will be, after lowering it a bit too... I've discovered today that I have something really loose in the front (not sure yet what it might be), but I'll probably have to fix that first... I'm moving this week (have been all day today), don't know when I'll have internet access again but I'll update you with pictures when I get the chanse.

Thanks for the replies, I really do appreciate it.
Ahmet
