I run 5mm spacers with standard bolts on mine, I defo wouldn't advise you with something as important as that if I wasn't doing it myself  :wink:

Yes 5mm is the usual when running big wheels and coilies, you just need the clearance on the adjuster ring

Just 2 of them, Was going to use them on the fronts & then some 10mm ones on the rear, But fitted the Porsche breaks & needed to use my 10mm ones up front so had to but 15mm ones for the rears
