Now I need spacers
Re: Now I need spacers
Mine are standard rims. Bolts had no loose collar on them. Same as original bolts, just longer.....
Re: Now I need spacers
The originals have a floating radius seat. You can get longer ones but they’re harder to find than the ones that don’t have the floating seat. Also you got to get the correct radius. Can’t remember if it’s 13 or 14mm radius.
Still, the op will need tapered bolts for his JR wheels if I’ve read correctly.

Re: Now I need spacers
Yeah I bought the 9.5x19 et35 black matte version (9x19 doesn't exist in the JR range), my car is Daytona Grey. BTW I don't like the silver version..

Re: Now I need spacers
Thanks for this. The more I think about it, the more I'd prefer to go for the two steps approach by using 10 holes spacers whereby the spacers will first be attached to the seats (if that's the correct English term), and then the wheels would be mounted to the spacer. It may be stupid but I'm not sure I would trust such long bolts for the one step approach.. The only possible issue is that the 10mm version may be too thin to hide the intermediate mounting bolts heads. Any comments on that?

Re: Now I need spacers
My feeling is that spacers larger than 15mm (think 20mm for e.g) should rather be "adaptors" as some call it (bolt the spacer to the hub and then bold the wheel to the spacer essentially).
10mm spacers with longer wheel bolts is fine.

Re: Now I need spacers
So I've done my homework, and looks like I finally need thicker spacers than expected : now looking for 25mm on each side, meaning 50mm per axel. In such a case, the use of longer bolts is now excluded so I'm taking the adaptor route (intermediate bolts on spacers), that's one thing sorted! 
But I'm afraid I still need some guidance particularly for the central hole diameter of those damn spacers. So far I found :
- 66.5mm like this one https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00SGZ ... B7XF&psc=1
- 57.1mm like this one https://www.amazon.de/Spurplatten-Spurv ... 26r+dra+50
Oh and of course in both cases the Amazon compatibility tool says it can't be used for my car although they're both 5x112.. (insert face-palm emoticon)
What would the oracle say? Thanks!
