Where Rav?

You can Jim, best to get a spacer kit that comes with the longer wheel bolts.

Make sure you get 'Hubcentric Spacers'. Check out eBay etc.

I have them on mine, fit like a glove unlike other seriously expensive rubbish.

Spacers use Hubcentric, don't need longer bolts as the spacers you'd need will bolt to the hub, the wheel then bolts to the spacer. I run 50mm on rear, and 25mm on front.


Those are universal, only fit if you modify them.
