Nice Viper, thanks for that

Yes the 10mm looks perfect, and i'll be going with H&R if they come supplied with bolts etc

Make sure the bolts are floating radius like the OE ones.

I'd be wary of Chinese specials on a car that is close to 2 ton ! You are paying for a higher grade material, likely alongside finer precision. I got mine for about 180 all round including bolts, which I didn't think was bad at all.

I have 12mm spacers on mine when I bought my BBS alloys from SKIDZ in Falkirk and there is no rubbing and I have 275, 30 x 19 Mitchelins on the car and tyres don't stick out past the arches. When I bought the wheels they fitted 40mm long bolts but these only caught by about 7 - 8mm so replaced with 45mm long bolts and these are a better fit.
