I know that this topic keeps popping up, and will do for some time to come.
Am i right in thinking that the only 10s that will fit 8.4" discs are the 5x10 cooper s wheels?

Best thing if you want 10" wheels is to fit 7.5" discs/callipers. Then you know it is all engineered correctly.

How is the one with built in spacers not engineered correctly?

They are all part of the same alloy cast. So long as you use Sportspack wheel studs, there is no reason why they are less safe then a normal wheel.

They are much lighter then Sportspack wheels, so your wheel bearings will last longer.
