my car passed sva with hubcentric ones fitted so i dont see any problem

Mine went through SVA with them, front and rear. Not a thing was said.

Mine went through SVA. Doubt they'd notice / care.

They may check how many threads or the stud are engaged in the nut (or bolt in the hub) to make sure you have increased the lenght to suit the spacers.

as long as they're only small they should be fine. none of your 6" spacers as per Leepu

look from 1:30, jesus

As Matt says - they WILL pay attention if the wheel nuts aren't properly engaged.

Not sure how they'd spot it though...

I've got 6mm spacers on my RIOT and it passed IVA, The inspector didn't even look at them. I have heard where the inspector has asked for a wheel nut to be removed to make sure that there is enough thread in it although I didn't have to.

'none of your 6" spacers as per Leepu' Yeah I noticed those as well. I can't believe Bernie didn't throw a wobbly about it.
