ok im sticking 20 mm spacers on the car. dont know the effect on the front but rears should look great and enough clearance, what i need to know is the depth of the cavity for the wheel bolt in the hub? the extended bolts are here and at 50mm (25mm longer than the bolts i now use) i need to know if im gonna have to cut them down or not. will it take the extra 5mm

why wheel wobble? oh man these feckers owe me 140 quid so far what with the cost of the spacers and the bolts being the same price (stupid tiny wheel bolts with an allan key type) i cant see any reason why there would be any wobble.. but i AM bias

Make sure you tie them down ....... i got 45mm spacers and no wheel wobble jet .....
but i fixed the spacer on the disc with bolts and tie the wheel down with another set of bolts to the spacer
i just turn the wheels 45Ԛ° and drilled and taped the spacers but it was easy with a 4 x 100 pcd ....if you got the 5 hole im sure there would be a probleme doing it like that ....
