can anyone suggest some wheel spacers? dont wanna pay the earth for them because its sort of an experiment.
im an absolute noob when it comes to stuff like this....just wondering if needing spiggot rings matters in the slightest?!

I dont think youll need spiggot rings, but you will need longer wheel studs.

Whats the issues and what are you trying to do.
Spigot rings will only fit a larger bore wheels onto a smaller bore hub.
You wont need longer studs with 10mm spacers. 15mm is the max before longer studs.
Anything above 10mm i would use Hubcentric spacers with built in studs

Well after looking at how much thread there is on a standard stud, adding a 10mm spacer will cause LESS thread. Sorry but, any spacers on standard studs is stupid regardless of what anyone says. I had 10mm spacers on my last car, and got 10mm longer wheel nuts for it. Safety first!

I run 10mm slip on spacers. I can turn the wheels nuts around 8 full turns before being tight.
No issues what so ever. Above 10mm then yes go huncentric.

I'd rather see the stud come slightly out the end of the nut and know its on MORE then enough, then only 8 turns and see thread left in the nut.
