Spacer fitment

I have a spare set of Macht Schnell 10mm spacers I just tried to put on my 228i rear, but to my chagrin, they don't fit! The hub ring sticks out too far so the spacer won't sit flush against the face of the rotor. Some cross referencing shows that the 228i rear hub is the same as the F30 328i hub, which they claim to fit. I'm curious if the F30 guys have had any trouble getting these spacers to fit properly. Anyone else tried to fit spacers yet?

***this is a cross post from the brakes section, so please feel free to delete that one, since I can't***

And, since posting in the wrong section, I found this on the F30 forums:
"10mm will work in the front, but not the rears. The rear hub lip is longer than the fronts so minimum rear is 13mm."

So that answers that.
