   Hi guys,
   
   cant find anything with search, not that i know what im looking for....
   
   anyway ive been offered 5x oz supertourismos in swap of my wheels. They are ford fitment but will come with universal spacers and extended bolts. They are in good cond few scuff marks. 1 wheel badly curbed but can just be kept as a spare.
   
   Whats the deal with using spacers? whats the advantages? disadvantages?
   
   Whats the difference between Ford fitment and Pug/Saxo fitment like?
   
   any help would be fantastic

   As long as they are hubcentric spacers, they are safe. Make sure all spiggot rings are included too. So the ones that go between the wheel and spacers.
   
   Ford fitment is et38-40, and saxo fitment is et15. So should have 20-25mm spacers included with the wheels.

   universal spacers aren't really any good tbh. U ideally want 20mm hubcentric adaptors
