Rookie spacer install question

[Lordhowe]

I'm getting ready to install a set of Future Classic 5mm spacers on the front of my A90 and noticed a few issues. Hoping someone can provide a bit of guidance:

1. The provided hub/Allen screws don't seem to mount flush against the spacer. The spacer has slots that are beveled and the provided screws aren't. So I simply left the factory screw in there and placed the spacer over top of it. Does the provided screw serve any other purpose other than holding the spacer in place?

2. The factory hub has a little lip that allows the wheel to be hub centric. The 5mm spacer is simply flat and takes 5mm away from that little lip. I noticed that larger 12,15,18mm spacers have their own lips built-in to keep everything hub centric. Has anyone seen any issues with this, especially at the track? Just to clarify, there is still a little lip there, but probably 1-2mm at this point.

Thanks

No one here ran a 5mm spacer up front to gain some clearance?

1 - you dont need the screw
2 - most small (3-5mm) spacers arent hub-centric. As long as you still have enough hub exposed to seat the wheel it should be fine

Thank you for the enlightenment here!

Majority of us folks on here run either 12/15, 13/15, 15/15, or 15/18mm spacer combos

I have the FC 5mm on the front. My set screws were definitely beveled, it’s odd that yours weren’t. Maybe ask FC about it?
