I like the spacer, the tires look good a little wider. I don't trust the spacer with the gap, so it looks like I'll be ordering a new set.

the spacer is almost assuredly a metric if you ordered it for S10, because I have not run across a single s10 that has SAE lugs. Yours would be the first, I did an 83 over christmas and as a matter of fact shortened a 1982 ext cab frame just 3 weeks ago and it was also metric studs. I have no explanation!
you should NOT trust the spacer with the gap. people think lug seats hold the wheel on, its actually the clamping force of the entire mounting surface of the wheel (and in this case the spacer).
hubcentric is not needed unless you happen to use hubcentric wheels. I am sorry the writeups you read were probably just erring on the side of caution.
