    H+R will supply you with new bolts in the kit.

    H+R are quality imo.

    Yeah, im thinking of spacing out my ET37 7x15's as well, the G60 arches make the wheels look totally lost. I was thinking of the 20mm spacers from trackstore, looks like im going to have to roll in the lip on the rear arches though.

    But if you bolt the adaptors/spacers to the hub and then bolt the wheel to the adaptor... or just geta stud conversion as mentioned above.

    Yes H&R are quaility.

    ps full set of taper and radius seat bolts with my spacers too ;)

    Excuse my naivety, but why don't you just buy wide wheels if you want to fill your arches properly?

    Yes, but so are good spacers. You'll only pay an extra 100 for some nice wide Azev's or Borbets, which is the same as spacers. Although how much are new rims for bbs splitties? More than spacers?

    Ooh, steep!

    Actually i'm going to need spacers for my Azev's, when the 90 spec kit goes on, as they are only 7.5", not 9"'s [:^(]

    If you can find 4 nice, good condition wide alloys with tyres for less than 30 I'll take some.

    Hum... miss understanding i think.

    I was suggesting that instead of spending 100 on spacers, put that towards money for wheels.

    EG why buy a 6"x15" borbet A for 70 ea (280) + spacers to make them wide (say 100), total 380

    When you can buy 7.5"x16" for 82, total 328, i think.

    Saving money and not having the risks attached to having spacer (although the risk factor is open to discussion).

    Well he should have though about this before the wheels were purchased? ;)

    Sorry, just playing devils advocate. I can understand why people use them. I really like Recardo's wheels, but they are only 6" wide (?), hence the only option is spacers. Plus not everybody like deep dish wheels [xx(] Don't know why?

    Don't be silly. If it looks "hard" it must drive better, right? :lol:
