   I got 15mm stud type spacers on the rear (will also fit them on the front),they bolt to the hub then the wheel to the 4 studs,all spacers are pretty much the same,just make sure you get hubcentric ones made of good material,they're made of aluminum usually,i wouldn't go over 20mm for both guidability and bearings etc.

   Gonna hijack your thread sorry dude!
   
   But is it safe to use 20mm spacers with standard bolts? I dont mean like the stud adapter ones btw I mean the ones that are literally just a 20mm thick of ali in between wheel and hub??

   Don't know what you mean sorry,you will need longer bolts for 20mm spacers,can't use your standard ones.

    mo it wont be safe i doubt standard bolts will even fit through into hub best bet to buy bolt on spacers
