Default 10mm wheel spacers anyone?

Hello. Does anyone have 10mm spacers on their XF, or know where to find some? With the black paint 15 and 20mm seem to stick out a bit far and the car gets dirty enough. Thanks!

Can you use 10mm spacers without having to grind off the ends of the wheel studs?
I would do 15mm and put on some mud flaps to keep the dirt off. Think the wheels look much better with a bit more poke.

Sorry, not really answering your question. I do not favour use of spacer or wheel adapters. I installed a set of XJ (49 mm front, 46 mm rear) wheels that have a lower offset than XF wheels (49 mm front and rear, RWD 66 mm), and they were flush with the fenders. If you can part with the wheels you currently have, do so in favour of wheels with a lower offset. If you must invest in spacers, don't cheap out.

Thanks for the responses. I have the 20inch Draco black pack wheels. Not sure of the offset. I decided to go 15mm H&R hubcentric all around. Before and after pics to come next week.

I tried to put 15mm spacers on the front of my car with Dracos wheels & found that the wheel studs needed 3-4mm grounded off. I didn't want to go down that route so I upped to 20mm all round on the car. The stance is still ok, without the wheels hanging out of the arches.
