SSR Comp-H in 17x8.5 - why won't these fit?

Since I also ordered some extra hardware for some previously purchased wheels from TireRack, I opened one of the packages up and took a look at the actual rim. The hub to spoke transition is too thick and gradually curved. No way they're gonna fit w/out spacers. Their guess is 10 mm spacers.
So kudos to Adrian and the Tirerack team for getting the stuff out to me so quickly. We knew it was a gamble, but for that price, it was definitely worth the shot. (I've purchased wheels from them before that they claimed wouldn't fit, but of course the did.)
