Ive bought some 20mm hubcentric spacers off a fellow forum member but only have 8 bolts because he needed to keep the lockers. What are the correct specs for aftermarket wheels, pretty sure the others are 50mm length but what about:

thread size?  m12 x 1.25 or 1.5
seat type? 60 degree radius or loose radius

Need these asap if anybody can help?

Thanks in advance....Rob

Aftermarket wheels tend to be 60 degree taper.

M14 x 1.5, 60 degree tapered bolts, 50mm will be fine with 20mm spacers as standard bolts are 27mm
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
