   Hey Mark, it wont mess the ET up it will just alter it by 10mm. As long as clearance
   is okay then this will be fine. Just remember though that you would need longer
   wheel nuts also if you add a 10mm spacer to each wheel.
   
   Your best bet it to make sure you get the spacers/bolts checked or self check
   them before fitting!

   so if im getting 10mm spacers i need bolts that are an extra 10mm longer than standard?
   
   if so, any ideas where i can get them from. i found somewhere for the spacers but they dont do the bolts

    Mark, the ones you've seen are your best bet. Any non hucentrics will cause wheel wobble.
    
    I've got some I'm supposed to be lending Ash to try (when I get my arse into gear!) If you want you can try them and see what you think

    Those ones are gonna cost £85 is it worth it just to push your wheels out by 10mm

    It's worth it if you're going to do the job properly
    
    The other ones cause wheel wobble and it's a bitch when you're doing 70 on the motorway and the steering wheel is trying to dislocate your arms from your shoulders
