As Ray suggests, H&R do may concentric spacers. But be sure to read the 
footnotes before ordering.

I just talked to them on the phone and they indicated that their 5mm spacers 
are simply spacers without a concentric ring on them. You would want to 
measure how high the current hub is to insure there will be enough material 
sticking out of the spacer to properly locate the wheel.

He also suggested that the 10mm spacers may bottom out on the existing hub 
before the entire spacer is flush with the disk rotor. Certainly not a good 
situation.

If I recall correctly from my research 10 years ago, at that time the SCCA 
stock class allowed a .25 inch offset for wheels. This could be accomplished 
via new wheels or a spacer. Not wanting to buy new wheels just to gain the 
extra track width, I though of going down the spacer route. It was at this 
time that I discovered that the hubs on my '93 Turbo were very close to .25 
inches tall and therefore a concentric spacer was virtually impossible - not 
enough of the original hub sticking out to use it and not enough material in 
the spacer to allow for a concentric ring on the spacer.

Anyway, just food for thought,
Arvid
