Are the bolts the correct ones for your wheels then ? Obviously if i was there i could tell you straight away but have to go off what you say. And caps will most likely be sending it off if theyre still on, were with mine.

get a pic up mate, will be easier than 2nd guessing it. Are they bolt through spacers or do they bolt to the hub first... I'm with Jordy, sounds like the bolts are bottoming out

Take the spacers off, put your original bolts back in and check if there is still play.

While the wheel is off though it's worth checking that the spacers fit snug and flush onto the back face of the wheel.

took them of now and fine with out so think its down to the bolts being to long as spacers fits on hub and wheel fine so going to dig hacksaw out and cut them down a few mm at work and give them ago and hopefully they will be sound then.
