Since the depth of the hubcentric lip will vary, you risk bottoming out of the spacer before it sits flush with the hub. This will leave a gap between the spacer and the hub, seriously compromising the strength of the spacer. The lip on the car may need to be shaved down so the 10mm spacer will fit flush on the rotor hat."
IND's messaging doesn't make much sense. I literally bought Future Classic 5mm and 12mm spacers from them a week ago... The 10mm or greater spacers are going to be hubcentric because they have enough room for a lip to mate with the piloting lip on the face side of the hub. Because the 5mm spacer is so thin, there's not enough material for a lip to make it hubcentric which is why it's a lugcentric spacer.

Here is the BMS 10mm spacer I originally bought from n54tuning.com:

Here is the Future Classic 5mm and 12mm spacer recently bought from IND:

I'll keep you guys posted once I attempt to install them Friday
