Question Hubcentric wheel spacers

Im going to have to get some of these to fit my 4 Pots to the front of my car. Anyone know anywhere local that sells the 15mm kit or will it have to be CDF racing?

Also if i space the front wheels will i have to space the rears too?

Calv, thought 4 pots fitted straight on?

What wheels are you fitting, thought the Redlines fitted tidy?

I have some spare Newage WRX alloys you can borrow, the tyres are all different but they are all legal.

Your local Halfords should have wheel spacers, worth a try.

You could also try RJ's in Gorseinon or Euro car parts on the zone.

Yeah but the only problem with those ones will be that i will need longer wheel studs or longer wheel nuts with those

Could i get away with just doing the front?

I only did the fronts in my ra. I used the halfords spacers and my original nuts with no issues.

I have a full set of longer studs, think their 25mm longer than standard. Bought them when I put my new wheels on but didn't need them. Cost me £39.98 and I haven't even opened the packaging. If you want them £25
