15mm spacers

[Saudirick]

As title suggests, I am thinking of fitting 15mm spacers all round on my 21" wheels. Do i need longer bolts or are the standard ones fine?

You will defo need longer bolts ideally 15mm longer. I think standard length is 27mm so look for something like 42mm.

I'm thinking of doing the same despite struggling already with the width of this weapon

Are 15mm on all 4 corners OK or maybe go 12mm at the front?

Any thoughts and pics would be great.

Cheers

Mike's info on bolt length is correct as far as I remember - but beware as that is the thread length up to the hub, not including the hub at the top of the bolt.

It was wrongly shown on some sites, notably H&R - I haven't checked recently.

I got 15mm on the back even when it was lowered. I think 15mm may be too much at the front though. Difficult for me to judge as mine was very low at the front and with OEM wheels I couldn't fit any spacers. Then when I raised it a bit I had other wheels on.

I’ve literally just bought some McGard black series lockers. As Mike says the thread length is (I checked last week on the Febi website) 27mm of shank. So 42mm would be perfect McGard only listed 41mm as the closest so I’ve gone with them. With the 15mm spacers I got in the for sale on here, the threads on the bolts are 40mm. So I would say somewhere between 40-42mm will be fine. I will however report back next week when I’ve got them fitted.

It’s worth noting that the seat is a radius type. So make sure you get.

Yeah no worries dude,

It’s currently at stock ride height. But that’s probably going to change to KW HAS

[ShaneyB]

Cheers, yep mine too on DRC so I'd bee keen to see if looks ok.

Good choice.

I had 15mm spacers all round, the rear was fine but had rubbing on the front. I’d say 12mm would be a better option on the front.

I'll be fitting 12 on front and 15 on back this weekend, I'm stock height on springs....I'll record before and after pics.....I ordered 43mm length bolts....hoping they're ok with 12mm spacers on front? Will run a few mm deeper....

[Daveperc]

I'd be careful on the front - that's 4mm more projection through the disc than standard - check they don't bind - I tried to use bolts 6mm too long and it was too much.
