   wanting to space my standard alloys, and obviously il need longer bolts, although i cant find any kits that supply flat seated bolts, they all seem to have the tapered type...
   can someone link me to 15/10/20mm spacers witht he correct bolts for r alloys?
   thanks

   Go for spacers that bolt to the hub and then bolt to the wheels. Much stronger and kinder on the bearings

   i would if i was spacing a significant amount, but for 10/15mm its jsut not worth it imo, wont do that much damage, especially as this just brings my drum beam out to standard vtr width

   i've got some 32mm hubcentric spacers if you're interested mate.
   got 35mm ones on rear and put these on front but tread was showing proud of arch so put some 20mm ones on, which are fine for the front.

   On a vtr it's the arms that are spaced wider on the beam to give width, not just an extension from the hub. It's better to be safe than sorry.

   didn't need longer bolts.
   if you get hubcentric spacers, the spacer comes with bolts to bolt it onto the hub and then you use your standard bolts to bolt your wheel to the spacer.
