Wheel spacer advice

Hi roocat,
The spacers look good, 5x130 for the hole spacing and 15/7 for the thickness.
Wheel studs I found confusing on the site and received wrong ones so returned for full refund, I then found these on eBay,
eBay item number ,320956496526
If you search that sellers site all the different lengths are available, and most importantly the correct ball/dome washer that fits the wheel perfectly, these where also a great price and quality :thumb:

Good morning all,

I emailed the wheels spacers site to ask for links to the parts i need. I'm looking for 7mm front and 15mm rear on a NB car with Carrera SII wheels, but found all the various spacer options a bit overwhelming and wasn't confident in choosing the correct/best ones. Hopefully the links below will help someone else in my situation.

John at wheelspacers kindly provided links to what i need. I wondered if you could cast an eye over them and just give your expert opinion on them and if it looks like everything required?. I would be much appreciated!.

The only thing that he didn't supply initially were links to new longer locking nuts/bolts, when i followed up to ask he sent the below. Does anyone have an alternative that doesn't require cutting the them to length?

'Ok didnt know you wanted locks, here
You need two different length so I would get the factory to machine 2 for you, picture attached

This picture may be of use, remember you need the studs to be longer by the same thickness of any spacer used so 15mm spacer would need a stud 15/17mm longer than usual 👍

I had to use 18mm bolts when fitting 15mm spacers no problems and luckily were also fine and reused when changing to 17mm spacers only done as I have a NB offset alloys on my WB car doing that plus the increase from 295 to 305 tyres got it right for me :thumb:

Thanks. Yeah funnily enough that was the picture i was using to work out what i needed. Still found it confusing though!.
That pic says 42mm is standard, other forums say 45mm, and the link on eBay says 28mm. I think the eBay one is talking about the thread length though whereas that pic must be the length of the whole bolt?. I think i'm getting there

thanks again.
