I got these for the front

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-20mm-Competition-Wheel-Spacer-Kit-4x108-Hubcentric-Trackday-/400369851273?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item5d37e71b89

There was still space over the brembos so got some 15mm instead and moved these to the back. I had to get them on the lathe tho to fit them on the back the hole in the middle wasn't big enough one side.

Havent had any problems with them so far but have only done about 100 miles  :smiley:

Cheers all, a lot of good answers  :wink:

Think I prefer to bolt to the spacer so I can use existing lockers etc but Thai send me a pic  :wink:

Is the bay the best place to get them or anyone know any good online shops (cheap is king!!!)
