Frankly, using spacers that slip over longer bolts instead of bolting onto 
the hub (as Porsche did on the 930) makes me nervous.  However, if you must 
use such a spacer -- and if all you need is a mere 10mm, then you don't have 
any choice -- make sure it's hub-centric on both sides so the bolts aren't 
the only means of locating the wheel.  I believe that H&R's spacers fit this 
description although I don't recall them listing any thinner than 30mm in the 
D&W catalog.
