I spoke to DPM and they changed the 8s for 10s and it sorted the problem straight away.

This is exactly my problem, and I also got mine from dpm. Are 10mm too much on the front?

Ive had no probs since I put the 10s on. I dont know how you could use the others as when I fitted them I tightened the wheel nuts a little each time to aline the wheel but it made no differance at all. So fook knows how they could be used .

They went on ok and the wheel nuts tightened up fine actually the only trouble is vibration

We stock both 8's and 10's with longer bolts. Both sizes hub centric, and both 150mm face type.

Correct spacers for the B7 unlike other suppliers!

Shane, get a set of these 8mm x 150 for the front, they will bolt right on, no wobble
