the sc rims dont fit without spacers but the ss/na wheels do for some odd reason. dont be cheap and get the spacers with no lug bolts on them tho.

5mm is less than 1/4". I don't think you will find any spacers that thin with bolts on!

I think you will still be hub centric with 5mm spacers. It's not that big of a deal.

^^ get the hub-centric ones for sure.

I believe that 3mm will work, but 5mm just gives a smidge more room.

the problem isn't in the whole spoke, the problem is that the spoke from the back is tapered towards the hub, and the taper is in such a way that it ever so slightly interferes wit hthe inside edge of the bremob caliper.

I had a 5mm spacer;
