I will advise if you run 20mm spacers with the o.e 215 tryes they will rub the arches! (more so if low!) I ran 16mm spacers and had to fit 195 tryes to stop rubbing! (that was at -40mm too)

Are they 20mm each side, or 20mm in total, eg 10 each side?

I think Venom say that anything 10mm a side or over they supply longer bolts.

Well spacers will sort that out.

Have you already bought the spacers? If so where from?

As most places give you the bolts if you need them.

Also if you have coilovers, take the front down about another 40mm :P haha

its not how the car is parked, i can see arch gap! haha.

Ok... Euro car parts can probably supply the bolts not sure though. If not maybe speak to venom motorsport.

Are they 10mm each side, 20mm in total.

Or 20mm each side, 40mm in total.

I will warn you now that Halfords spacers are not the best and can give vibration problems, much better to get the hubcentric ones.
