Decked Dirty Diesel!
Hello all,
I recently purchased some 16" Clio Sport alloys, I went to fit them yesterday and the back ones go on fine, however, the tyres on the front rest on my coilovers so i cant move my wheel at all, i know i need spacers but i'm unsure which ones i need, i purchased a set of normal 4x100 10mm spacers from a local shop for about £15. when i put the spacer onto the hub it takes up all the room, meaning there is no more room to slide the wheel on, am i right in thinking i cant just bolt the wheel on because the bolts arent designed to take the weight and also it will cause a vibration? :S
I've done some reading and I'm pretty sure i need hubcentric ones, but im finding it hard to find some small enough because i only need roughly 10mm, do you think these will work okay? Theyre the smallest hubcentric ones i can find (that bolt to the hub)

I was worried because the little hub bit on the spacer doesnt look big enough for my wheel to rest on? but i guess if these bolt to the hub then my wheels bolt to these then the wheel cant go anywhere so they wont fall off or anything?
also will i need to put grease or something on the spacer before i fit it so they dont get stuck on? i saw another thread where somebodys spacer got stuck. Thanks in advance guys, heres a few pictures to make it a bit more clear.
